`const_missing': uninitialized constant Spec::Rails

Testing RSpec

Hi!

I’m experiencing such error while running simple model rspec just to
make sure everything is working.

$ script/spec spec/models/site_user_spec.rb
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:100:in

ruby/rails/rspec versions:
Rails 1.1.2
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux]
RSpec-1.1.3 (build 20080309210001)

Have anyone had similar problem? What is by experience the most
suiteable version of rspec framework for rails 1.1.2? Thanks!

Dmitry.

It appeared rspec/rspec_on_rails version 1.0.8 runs without errors for
env described obove. (used svn co for dovnloading rspec/rspec_on_rails)
Hope this saves someone time.

Hello,

I was stuck at with the same problem and I could get it solved from

Hello,

In addition, I get some other errors and couldn’t get the spec run. So
finally I found that it was a compatibility issue of RSpec_1.0.8 and I
have to use trunck for Rspec and Rspec_on_rails instead using plugin.
