I checked first and found no conversation that matched my problem so here it is:
I'm trying to get rspec going on ruby 1.9.1 / rails 2.3.0 - here's my current gem list: *** LOCAL GEMS *** actionmailer (2.3.0) actionpack (2.3.0) activerecord (2.3.0) activeresource (2.3.0) activesupport (2.3.0) columnize (0.3.0) cucumber (0.1.16) daemons (1.0.10) diff-lcs (1.1.2) eventmachine (0.12.4) git (1.0.5) hoe (1.9.0) mocha (0.9.5) mysql (2.8.1) pg (0.7.9.2009.02.26) polyglot (0.2.5) rack (0.9.1) rails (2.3.0) rake (0.8.3) rspec (1.1.99.10) rspec-rails (1.1.99.10) rubyforge (1.0.3) rubyist-aasm (2.0.5) sqlite3-ruby (1.2.4) term-ansicolor (1.0.3) thin (1.0.0) treetop (1.2.4) As you can see, I followed David's instructions re rspec and rspec- rails for rails 2.3.0. Just by way of test, I did the following: 1) rails spec230test 2) cd spec230test 3) script/generate rspec 4) script/generate rspec_model User name:string email:string 5) rake db:migrate 6) rake spec:models --trace and here's what I get for results: rake spec:models --trace (in /Users/rick/spec230test) ** Invoke spec:models (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke

Any thoughts on what I should try next? BTW, the same sequence of steps run in a Ruby1.8.7/Rails2.2.2 environment works fine of course. thanks in advance, Rick _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
