David,
Thanks for your help and for setting me straight. I am running Rails
2.2.2 and rspec 1.1.12.
I started a new Rails project as well, and have discovered that my
problem is that I have root-level model class, with the same name as
the nested directory. It looks like this:
app/models/thing.rb
app/models/thing/nested_thing.rb
This set-up causes errors. If I move the thing.rb class to the "thing"
directory, or rename the "thing" directory to something else, all is
good.
Again, thanks for your help.
Kyle
