In my work in blacklight_range_limit, I solved this like this instead:
I think spec:prepare ought to do it, rather than a custom blacklight:build_host_assets? I am wary of adding additional complexity here, without understanding why the existing logic wasn't working, and don't understand what this change is meant to accomplish -- in both cases "spec:prepare" is being run before the specs are run, what is expected to be the difference here?
I also wonder if we coudl replace that system shell-out with a simple rake dependency to existing spec:prepare like demo'd in blacklight_range_limit -- I have become acutely aware of how long rake ci takes to run, as I try to work with it in an iterative loop, and a shell out to bin/rspec, with an additional app boot time added in, is definitely adding some time.

Doesn't this have to happen within the test app? If you just call spec:prepare won't that run at the engine root?
Isn't range limit also creating a custom task to do the same? https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight_range_limit/blob/da22926ef99ac2e1d3cb04a750a57ea0ed08b3a8/Rakefile#L37-L45

Oh nevermind, you are absolutely right, I did similar to what you are doing here, yup.
Still not sure what this change would change, since within-test-app spec-prepare should have been called before tests were run already?

Yes. This just moves it closer to running the tests. It was something that worked on my local machine to fix the failures for certain seeds. I'm not sure why it doesn't work on CI.

Workaround bug in devise
|
Has this ended up no superceded by other PR's, once discovered that it was a devise bug? I am not totally keeping up with them all, sorry. |

i think this may be no longer needed? |

I still prefer breaking this out into a discreet task. It's just a refactor of existing functionality. |
