Description

I am getting an error when using rake tasks, specifically: Airbrake::Error: the 'default' notifier isn't configured

This happens when RSpec's rake task exits because of a failing spec. This does not happen when specs succeed.

I'm using the latest version (1.0.2) and I'm not quite sure why #14 does not apply in this case, as it seems to be SystemExit as well.

I removed some irrelevant output from RSpec, but the output I get is this:

$ RAILS_ENV=test rake spec

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Adding the Airbrake config to spec_helper.rb does not work. I get the same error there, which exists the specs prematurely, then giving me the error a second time after the rake task has exited.

• rake spec does not output anything for me when not specifying the environment, that is, it does not run the specs at all, and exits without doing anything. (I suspect this is because RSpec is under the :test group in my Gemfile)
• bundle exec rspec does not trigger the error when specs fail.
• bundle exec rake (which runs the specs) does trigger the error when specs fail (this is how I came across this issue in the first place)

Discussion on this issue initially started on #13, but I created an new issue as per @kyrylo's request.

Just had a go with the newest version, the issue is fixed 🐛 🔫

Thanks a lot for looking into it @kyrylo 👍
