The rspec dependency of rspec-rails was marked as 'I', but it still had an 'R' next to the top-level rspec. I also tried removing uuidtools (and searched all the other .rake files in my source tree for references to require 'spec') to see if that had any effect since it lists a dependency on rspec, but that also did not help. I'm showing the full list of my RAILS_ENV=test gem dependencies here in case the additional info helps. - [F] uuidtools - [I] rake = 0.8.3 - [I] rspec = 1.1.99.12 - [F] faker - [F] populator - [F] mislav-will_paginate ~> 2.3.7 - [R] hpricot = 0.6.164 - [R] rspec >= 1.1.99.12 - [F] rspec-rails >= 1.1.99.12 - [I] rspec = 1.1.99.12 - [F] rack = 0.9.1 - [ ] cucumber >= 0.1.13 - [ ] hoe >= 1.9.0 On a positive note, I managed to resolve this issue by manually unpacking rspec using 'gem unpack' instead of 'rails gem:unpack'. Here are the steps I took. Maybe this will help someone else who runs into this issue. Note: config/environments/test.rb already is configured for rspec and rspec-rails as gem dependencies. * sudo gem uninstall rspec -v 1.1.99.12 * sudo gem uninstall rspec-rails -v 1.1.99.12 * re-cloned, re-built, and re-installed both rspec-1.1.99.12 and rspec- rails-1.1.99.12 to pick up your patch as described in http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/edge * cd RAILS_ROOT * rm lib/tasks/rspec.rake * rm -rf vendor/gems/rspec-1.1.99.12 * rm -rf vendor/gems/rspec-rails-1.1.99.12 * cd vendor/gems * sudo gem unpack rspec -v 1.1.99.12 * sudo chown -R michael:staff rspec-1.1.99.12 * cd RAILS_ROOT * rake gems:refresh_specs RAILS_ENV=test # this because gem unpack does not create a .specification file * sudo rake gems:unpack RAILS_ENV=test # unpacks rspec-rails * sudo rake gems:unpack:dependencies RAILS_ENV=test # I had already done this previously, so didn't need this step, but listed here in case someone following this hasn't yet * script/generate rspec And voila!, 'script/spec' works again! 'rake gems RAILS_ENV=test' still doesn't show rspec as 'F' which makes me slightly nervous, but everything is functional again. -Michael _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
