The fact that autotest is trying to load the controller file itself is probably the source of the problem here. I'm sure you noted this earlier, but what version of rspec and zentest are you using? Have you modified the mappings in rails_rspec.rb (you can do this in RAILS_ROOT/.autotest or ~/.autotest)? > spec/controllers/admin/cities_controller_spec.rb > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/app/controllers/admin/cities_controller.rb:1: > uninitialized constant Admin (NameError) > from > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/example_group_runner.rb:14:in > `load' > from > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/example_group_runner.rb:14:in > `load_files' > from > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/example_group_runner.rb:13:in > `each' > from > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/example_group_runner.rb:13:in > `load_files' > from > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/options.rb:98:in > `run_examples' > from > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/command_line.rb:19:in > `run' > from script/spec:4 > /usr/local/bin/ruby -S script/spec -O spec/spec.opts > > /Users/matt/Documents/projects/songkick/skweb/app/controllers/admin/cities_controller.rb > spec/controllers/admin/cities_controller_spec.rb > ................ > > Finished in 0.183342 seconds > > 16 examples, 0 failures > > > The first time, I saved the controller, and it bombed.
