I'm pretty sure the build is broken cause we are running the same code regardless of the gems we are loading. See for example https://github.com/tute/merit/blob/master/lib/merit/models/active_record/merit/action.rb#L7 (and https://github.com/tute/merit/blob/master/lib/merit/model_additions.rb#L41-L44). When the test reads like that, it will add no value.
