How do you run rot in a Rails integration test?

I think it is best to start rotting in before(:all)

block method (for rspec) or def setup

(for test block) and stop it in block / method after(:all)

/ def teardown

respectively.

To start a company, you should probably use something like:

rots = IO.popen("rots")

      

        
        
        
      

    

and then to stop it:

rots.close

      

        
        
        
      

    

but remember this code is untested.
