I’m a newb here and probably shouldn’t be using Rails3 yet to start  
with,  
but for some reason I was feeling adventurous.

I’m also learning to use rspec along the way and things ‘were’ working  
out  
with my ‘rake spec’ until I tried to follow some examples for test  
Authlogic with rspec.  
I ‘think’ what started the problems was when I added at the top of a  
controller test:

require ‘authlogic/test\_case’

After doing that, I seemed to have to re-run ‘bundle install’ (or maybe  
that  
was triggered because I touched the Gemfile, even though I ended up not  
adding changes to it.)

I was prompted with:

git://github.com/odorcicd/authlogic.git (at rails3) is not checked out.  
Please run `bundle install`  
/Users/rick/projects/rails/sillymeters/Rakefile:4:in `require’  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I rand bundle install, but now every time I try to run “rake spec” I end  
up  
with the following error:

rake spec  
(in /Users/rick/projects/rails/sillymeters)  
/Users/rick/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-preview3/bin/ruby -S bundle exec

from

from ./spec/models/meter\_spec.rb:1:in `require' from ./spec/models/meter_spec.rb:1:in`’

I don’t know what went wrong? I even removed the test file that had  
“require  
‘authlogic/test\_case’” but now I’m still getting the error.  
Again, things were working ok until I had to do ‘bundle install’ again

Interestingly I updated my rails version to rails3.0.0 from the  
3.0.0.beta  
and now things are working again. Guess I’ll consider the problem solved  
for  
now.
