Cucumber failing with 'uninitialized constant Spec::Ruby'

Testing RSpec
1

I’ve just upgraded RSpec to 1.2 on a Rails 2.2.2 app.

rake features fails with the following error:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/active_support/
dependencies.rb:442:in load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant Spec::Ruby (NameError) from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:77:in const_missing’

Bummer.

I’ve tried with Cucumber 0.1.16 and 0.2, has anyone else seen this?
I’ll start poking later, but if anyone’s seen it and has a super-easy
diagnosis/fix that would be awesome.

Bummer.

Did you run ‘ruby script/generate rspec’?

Yes, both ./script/generate rspec and ./script/generate cucumber

I just went back and checked on my environments/test.rb. With the line:

config.gem “rspec-rails”, :lib =>‘spec/rails’

Cucumber blows up. I switched to use the new suggestion from
http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/configgem-for-rails
:

config.gem “rspec”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 1.2.0”
config.gem “rspec-rails”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 1.2.0”

And it runs! Phew. Maybe put that, or a link to the wiki page, into
rspec-rails/Upgrade.markdown?
