Forgot to create a bunch of specs?

I got a little ahead of myself last week and wasn't a very good test first developer. I would like to say last week was the only time, and that I will never do it again. Being more realistic I wrote a little rake task that will create the missing model specs for me (just so they will show up in rcov/rspec reports and make me feel bad)

        desc "create missing rspecs for all models"
        task :create_missing_model_specs do
          models = Dir.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models").collect {|file_name| file_name.split('.')[0] }
          models.each do |model|

        
        
if model && model.size > 0
          spec_path = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/spec/models/#{model}_spec.rb"
          unless FileTest::exist?(spec_path)
            puts "creating missing #{model} spec"
            File.open(spec_path, "w") do |f|
              f.puts "require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'"
              f.puts "module #{model.camelize}Methods"
              f.puts "end"
              f.puts
              f.puts "describe #{model.camelize} do"
              f.puts "\tit \"should have boat-loads of coverage\""
              f.puts "end"
            end
          end
        end
        
        
        
  end
        end
        

Probably not the cleanest implementation, but I'm doing this to save time, not waste it!
