The op said the app had been upgraded to 2.3.14 which supports
capybara (has rack). The Rails 2.3.12 that (for my sins) I'm currently
working on has some code near the bottom of config/boot.rb to load
bundler.
class Rails::Boot
def run
load_initializer
Rails::Initializer.class_eval do
def load_gems
@bundler_loaded ||= begin
result = Bundler.require :default
Bundler.require(Rails.env) unless Rails.env.test?
result
end
end
end
Rails::Initializer.run(:set_load_path)
end
end
