I believe this is caused by a bad example on https://github.com/rspec/rspec/wiki/autotest ,specifically under the section "Advanced autotest configuration".
I ran into this exact same issue and it was solved by changing the example to use spec/**/*_spec.rb. I went ahead and took the liberty of updating the wiki page thanks, adam On Jan 21, 5:35 am, David Chelimsky <dchelim...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Jan 21, 2011, at 4:57 AM, Rob Westgeest wrote: > > > > > > > On Nov 22 2010, 9:42 pm, LesFreeman <lesliefreem...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Sep 28, 10:42 pm, Amiruddin Nagri <amir.na...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >>> I am having asharedexample'allow authorized actions' for my Rails 3 RSpec > >>> 2.beta.20 application.
