I am trying to upgrade a Rails 1.2.6 application to either 2.0.2 or
(preferably) 2.1.0 whichever works. The application has a hugh number
of rspec tests written. I am having problems getting past the first
base.
Details: The application has both rspec (1.1.3) and rspec_on_rails
plugins installed in vendor/plugins directory. The application also had
Rails 1.2.6 frozen in the vendor directory. When I ran the following
code snippet in the account_spec.rb file, it ran fine (with Rails 1.2.6
frozen in vendor directory).
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/spec_helper’
describe Account do
it “should have valid fixture defaults” do
create_account.should be_valid
end
end
“create_account” exists in the spec_helper.rb.
Now to upgrade, first in Rails 2.0.2. I removed the Rails directory
from vendor directory, changed rails version in environment.rb from
1.2.6 to 2.0.2 and tried to rerun the same file/test as above. The code
does not even get past the first line of code, i.e., require
File.dirname …
I get the following exception trace:

I am no rspec power user at this point, but have run rspec tests at
commmand line and in NetBeans IDE for Rails 1.2.x without any problems.
Thanks for your time.
