Converting to Rails 2.0.2

I’m moving an older project to Rails 2.0.2 and ran into a roadblock on
the version matching. Here’s script/console session:

Spec::VERSION::REV
=> “1785”

Spec::Rails::VERSION::REV
NoMethodError: undefined method run=' for Test::Unit:Module from /Users/sxross/rails/tastie_work/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/ lib/spec/rails.rb:16 from /Users/sxross/rails/tastie_work/vendor/rails/activerecord/ lib/../../activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:203:inload_without_new_constant_marking’

The project uses trunk versions of rspec and rspec_on_rails, along
with current Rails edge (at this point, 8506). After upgrading Rails
and some of the normal monkeying around, I did a script/generate rspec
(nothing of note there and replaced all just to be sure). Then:

rake spec does this:

Anyone know what’s up here?

The REV constants no longer exist in trunk (and haven’t for a while),
yet somehow your rspec_on_rails in vendor is still expecting it.
Meaning you don’t actually have a copy of trunk in
plugins/rspec_on_rails, I guess.

How strange… I’ve been having some svn misbehavior so I decided to
clone the tree and not do any plugin installations – simply external
references to the correct repos. So this is a today project and these
are the externals from svn propedit:

vendor/plugins/rspec
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/rspec
vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/rspec_on_rails

I’ll keep looking into this to see why my installation would have gone
so wrong.

Thanks for the info…

The culprit is right here in your stack trace. You’re running with a
pre-trunk gem version of RSpec that isn’t compatible with Spec::Rails
trunk.

Uninstall your existing RSpec gem. A more long term solution would be
to make sure plugged-in rspec is always on $LOAD_PATH before the
gemmed one, but that might be a little tricky.
