Hello,
I recently unpacked the latest (1.1.12) rspec and rspec rails in my
applicaiton.
When I run my specs I get:

config.gem: Unpacked gem rspec-1.1.12 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem rspec-rails-1.1.12 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.


However, when I do what it says, I get this:
[jsch...@serenity shindg (maps)]$ rake gems:refresh_specs
(in /Users/jschank/Projects/Rails/shindg)
config.gem: Unpacked gem rspec-1.1.12 in vendor/gems has no

config.gem: Unpacked gem rspec-rails-1.1.12 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
rake aborted!
superclass mismatch for class ModelExampleGroup

A google search isn't helping me. What can I do to make this warning
go away?
besides piping it to dev/null

Thanks,

I had this problem yesterday. Each of my gems in vendor/gems/ was missing its specification file. I have to assume that this is because I manually unpacked gems into vendor/gems/ .

I found that "rake gems:refresh_specs" failed to put the specification file into each frozen gem's directory because I didn't have any gem dependencies setup in environment.rb .

To fix these "has no specification file" warnings, here's what I did:

1) Add the following gem dependencies to config/environment.rb :
config.gem 'rspec', :version => '1.1.12', :lib => false
config.gem 'rspec-rails', :version => '1.1.12', :lib => false

2) Run "rake gems:refresh_specs".

3) Check that each frozen gem has a specification file:
$ ls -l vendor/gems/*/.specification

4) Comment out the gem dependencies in environment.rb .

I hope that helps!
