I tried to generate the docs for rspec + rails and got a bizarre error  
report:

rake aborted!  
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!  
The error occurred while evaluating nil.exitstatus

Is there a copy of the combined documentation of rspec and  
rspec\_on\_rails on some web site? Doing ‘rake doc:plugins’ fails, even  
in a virginal rails project with just the forecaster from the peepcode  
movie.

Is there any other rspec/rails doc online anywhere?

I recommend you start at:

> **[RSpec: Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby](http://rspec.info/)**

The actual rdocs are at:

[http://rspec.info/rdoc/](http://rspec.info/rdoc/)

It would be great if you feel you have a reproducible bug in rdoc  
generation, you can file a report at:

[http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645-rspec/](http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645-rspec/)
