task beaker: 'fixtures:prep'
```

`fixtures:prep` has a matching `fixtures:clean` task, but nothing runs it for you.
To clean up automatically after a successful run, enhance the `beaker` task with a post-action:

```ruby
Rake::Task[:beaker].enhance do
Rake::Task['fixtures:clean'].invoke
end
```

If the acceptance tests fail, the exception aborts the task before this runs, so the fixtures are left in place for you to inspect.

See the [`voxpupuli-acceptance` README](https://github.com/voxpupuli/voxpupuli-acceptance#fixtures) for more on the fixtures installation path.
