Superclass mismatch for class ModelExampleGroup (TypeError)

I hope somebody can help me with this.

I can’t seem to run spec_server with rails 2.3.2 using rspec/rspec-rails
1.2.2. I’m also using mocha 0.9.5 and remarkable 2.3.0.

Thanks Andrew

Here is the stack trace:

The stack trace doesn’t show it, but the superclass mismatch suggests
that you have a version of rspec pre 1.2 that is being loaded
somewhere. The old ModelExampleGroup derived directly from
Test::Unit::TestCase, but the 1.2 class derives from
ActiveSupport::TestCase. Can you check to see what versions of rspec
and rspec-rails you have installed and uninstall all the old ones if
you can.

HTH,
David

Thanks David,

It seems like remarkable was the culprit. Somebody had posted the same
issue
to lighthouse.
The solution was to specify the lib in environment.rb instead of setting
it
to false for rspec and rspec-rails. The discussion was in Portuguese so
I’m
not sure why this works.

I don’t get the error anymore but now when I run spec_server it hangs.
Running it with debug produced the following output:

Do you mean rspec’s lighthouse account? If so, which ticket?

no such file to load – Win32API
Win32API??? No idea why that is being loaded (or trying to be).

There’s not that much help in this backtrace (for me). Anybody else
paying attention and getting some idea about this problem?

It was on remarkable’s lighthouse account.
