Hi everyone.

The Remarkable Google group appears to be kind of quiet, so I thought  
I’d ask this here.

I have an application using Rails 2.3.4, RSpec 1.2.9, and Ruby 1.8.7 (on  
Snow Leopard, in case that’s significant). I thought I’d try to  
simplify some of my specs by installing Remarkable 3.1.10. The gem  
installed without incident, but when I put require ‘remarkable\_rails’ in  
my spec\_helper file, I got a bunch of error spew beginning with

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/remarkable\_activerecord-3.1.10/lib/remarkable\_activerecord/human\_names.rb:11:in  
`human\_name’: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) (ArgumentError)

and tracing back to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.2.9/bin/spec:5  
(apparently none of my app or spec code was involved, just the RSpec and  
Remarkable libraries).

Google yields no one reporting similar, and I’m not familiar enough with  
RSpec or Remarkable internals to really see what’s going on. Any ideas?

## Thanks,
