If this doesn’t happen, or in the meantime, you could always add in your own logic to spec_helper or test_helper and have it truncate the files. I do something similar with DataMapper and auto_migrate and it works quite well.

I just noticed this yesterday. I really like it in test mode, it makes it much easier to find the error messages that rspec may have gobbled up (or if you’re using the full-stack request helper, and want to see the error stack). The log file being truncated before each test run was pretty handy so I didn’t have to search past 50MB of log lines to get to the part I was interested in. Any chance of making this a config option, so it can be turned on for rake and test envs?
