    copied!<p>When I used to run 'rake test' I would see either '.' or 'F' or 'E' for each test. When all was well, the output was a line of '.'</p> <p>Now, even though all my test are passing, I am seeing program output in the midst of the line of '.'</p> <p>I am not sure the best way to post the output, but here is an initial offering:</p> <pre><code>perrys-MacBook-Pro:iway perry_mac$ rake test:functionals --trace ** Invoke test:functionals (first_time) ** Invoke test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke db:abort_if_pending_migrations (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:abort_if_pending_migrations ** Execute db:test:prepare ** Invoke db:test:load (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:purge (first_time) ** Invoke environment ** Execute db:test:purge ** Execute db:test:load ** Invoke db:schema:load (first_time) ** Invoke environment ** Execute db:schema:load ** Execute test:prepare ** Execute test:functionals Loaded suite /Users/perry_mac/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/gems/rake-0.9.2/lib/rake/rake_test_loader Started .........................."Welcome joe : " ."Welcome joe : " ."Welcome joe : " ."Welcome joe : " .................."Welcome bob : " ...........

I can't figure out why the msgs are now seen during 'rake test' I see the same behavior when --trace is not used as well. Please comment on A) why I see some program output and not the rest and B) Why am I seeing any at all?</p>
