I am taking over a code base and am trying to run the tests. I am
somewhat new to RSpec so this might be a trivial problem.

Basically I can tell that the fixtures are not getting loaded. All 100
tests fail with a similar error.

But I don't know why.  Below is the code, with my narrative with ***
before it... Can you see anything or give me a clue where to look. So
far I am coming up empty...

Thanks!

**** In spec_helper.rb, which I know is running, I see:

Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  config.global_fixtures = :all
end

**** One of the tests in spec/controllers/downloads_controller_spec.rb
is below. I know it is running and I know that before the 'describe',
Partner.count == 0, so no fixture.

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper')

describe DownloadsController do
  integrate_views

  describe "when PDF is ready" do
    before(:each) do
      @registrant = Factory.create(:step_5_registrant)
      stub(@registrant).merge_pdf { `touch #{@registrant.pdf_file_path}`
}
      @registrant.generate_pdf
      @registrant.save!
    end

    it "provides a link to download the PDF" do
      get :show, :registrant_id => @registrant.to_param
      assert_not_nil assigns[:registrant]
      assert_response :success
      assert_template "show"
      assert_select "span.button a[target=_blank]"
      assert_select "span.button a[onclick]"
    end

    after(:each) do
      `rm #{@registrant.pdf_file_path}`
    end
  end
