Is there any canonical document as to what versions of rspec,  
rspec\_on\_rails and ZenTest should be used for each version of Rails?

I’ve got a 1.2.6 Rails app and can’t find the right mix of these.  
Everytime I run “autotest” it bombs on some missing file, or undefined  
method, etc.

Any suggestions on what combination should work?

The latest rspec (1.1.4) and the current HEAD  
(git://github.com:dchelimsky/rspec.git and  
git://github.com:dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git) both support Rails 1.2.6.  
I think ZenTest-3.10.0 will work w/ Rails 1.2.6 too, and I know it  
works w/ the recent rspec.

HTH,
