It appears this is a bug, with an apparently simple fix in

However, now that it's reloading my app, it's not reloading the setup
from my fixture/factory gems and throwing up a bunch of errors on re-
run. (I've tried it with both factory_girl and machinist now.) These
are required in my spec_helper.rb:
config.gem 'notahat-machinist', :lib => 'machinist', :source =>
'http://gems.github.com'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/blueprints'
or:
config.gem 'thoughtbot-factory_girl', :lib => 'factory_girl', :source
=> 'http://gems.github.com'
# automatically loaded from spec/factories/*.rb
In spec_helper?
Hi David,
Sorry, that wasn't clear the way I wrote it. The config.gem directive
was actually in the rails/environments/test.rb file. Then I required
the blueprints.rb file in spec_helper (or in factory_girl's case it
automatically loads the factory files from spec/factories). These
steps showed that rails model reloading wasn't working in 1.2.2 with
rails 2.3.2:
$ gem list rails
rails (2.3.2)
$ gem list rspec
rspec (1.2.2)
rspec-rails (1.2.2)
$ rails test_spec_server && cd test_spec_server
$ script/plugin install git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git
$ script/generate rspec
$ script/generate rspec_model car name:string
# edit config/environments/test.rb => config.cache_classes = false
# edit spec/spec.opts => --drb
$ rake spec:server:start
$ script/autospec
# 1 example, 0 failures
# edit app/models/car.rb => add invalid syntax!
# 1 example, 0 failures
I had given up on spec_server for the time being. The ticket is
resolved now, and I just gave these steps another try with a new app
using updated versions. Reloading the app classes for each run works
fine out of the box now: I can get it to return a success or failure
when I change the model on the fly.
However, the problem comes when adding Factory Girl:
# config/environments/test.rb
# add:
config.gem "thoughtbot-factory_girl", :lib => 'factory_girl'
# spec/factories/car.rb
Factory.define :car do |f|
f.name "Jetta"
end
# spec/models/car_spec.rb
it "should create a new instance given valid attributes" do
car = Factory :car
car.name.should == 'Jetta'
end
It runs fine the first time against drb, but on all subsequent runs I
get the following error until I restart spec_server. None of the lines
in the stacktrace say "rspec" but I was also getting the same error
with Machinist too, so it's not unique to Factory Girl, and I'm
guessing something to do with the reloading.
