Why: INSUFFICIENT CODE COVERAGE is followed by Code coverage is acceptable and exit code is 0

[drhuffman12]

When I run rspec (or bin/rails coverage:assert_minimum itself), and my coverage is less then the MIN_COVERAGE_PERCENT, I would expect an error code of some positive number, but instead, I get a exit code of 0 and the following INSUFFICIENT/acceptable confusing text:

root@9fe4400f4469:/var/www/our_app# RAILS_ENV=test MIN_COVERAGE_PERCENT=43.7 bin/rails coverage:assert_minimum
----------------------------------------
INSUFFICIENT CODE COVERAGE
Minimum: 43.7%
Actual:  35.79396325459317%
----------------------------------------
*** Code coverage is acceptable: (minimum: 43.7% / actual: 35.79396325459317%) ***

Help please; I want to use the exit code to trigger a failure in the CI process.

Closing; Oops, sorry, apparently, there were some internal modes that broke the exit code.

I guess I can't close my own ticket. Please close this ticket.
