[rspec-users] undefined method `use_transactional_fixtures=' on windows with spec_server

[mikev]

Any suggestions for what to check when running on windows with:
rspec (1.2.9)
rspec-rails (1.2.9)
rails 2.3.3
ruby 1.8.6
spec_server

Run autospec with --drb option and get the following exception.  Run
autospec or 'spec spec' works fine.

/spec/spec_helper.rb:19: undefined method
`use_transactional_fixtures=' for #<Spec::Runner::Configuration:
0xe1e0934> (NoMethodError)

spec_helper.rb contains:

# This file is copied to ~/spec when you run 'ruby script/generate
rspec'
# from the project root directory.
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname
(__FILE__),'..','config','environment'))
require 'spec/autorun'
require 'spec/rails'

# Uncomment the next line to use webrat's matchers
#require 'webrat/integrations/rspec-rails'

# Requires supporting files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in ./support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname
(__FILE__),'support','**','*.rb'))].each {|f| require f}

Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
  # If you're not using ActiveRecord you should remove these
  # lines, delete config/database.yml and disable :active_record
  # in your config/boot.rb
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  config.use_instantiated_fixtures  = false
  config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures/'

  raise <<-MESSAGE

#{'*'*65}

Rails.configuration.cache_classes == true
This means that spec_server won't reload your classes when
you change them, which defeats the purpose of spec_server.
Please set 'config.cache_classes = false' (it's probably
set to true in config/environments/test.rb) and give it
another try.
