Hi, I can't seem to silence the stack trace when running specs.
Pending specs get this output: ChannelsController GET new responds to xml # why would we want to render xml for Channel.new? # ./spec/controllers/channel_controller_spec.rb:89 Failing specs get this: Failures: 1) ChannelsController POST create failing example Failure/Error: post :create, {:channel => channel} undefined method `save' for nil:NilClass # /gems/activesupport-3.0.0/lib/active_support/whiny_nil.rb:48:in `method_missing' . . ( 30 or so more lines ) . # /gems/spork-0.8.4/lib/spork/server.rb:47:in `run' Here's what I have so far: I've grepped through my project to check whether something is setting the --backtrace option, but as far as I can tell, it's not set. I also did > cd myproject; grep -lre '-b' which matched a bunch of temporary files and binary files, but nothing that seemed remotely relevant. The command I am using to kick off the tests is > rspec --drb spec I've tried running the tests in several ways: with and without spork/DRb, and by calling each of these: > rspec spec > rake spec > bundle exec rspec spec All of these give me a noisy backtrace. Interestingly, when I use rake, the full rails environment gets loaded twice. I haven't figured that one out yet, either. Here are as many of the environment variables as I can think might be relevant: > cat .rspec --colour --format progress > ruby -v ruby 1.9.2p14 (2010-10-02 revision 29393) [x86_64-darwin10.4.0] > rvm -v rvm 1.0.12 > gem list *** LOCAL GEMS *** abstract (1.0.0) actionmailer (3.0.0) actionpack (3.0.0) activemodel (3.0.0) activerecord (3.0.0) activeresource (3.0.0) activesupport (3.0.0) acts_as_state_machine (2.2.0) arel (1.0.1) autotest (4.4.1) aws-s3 (0.6.2) builder (2.1.2) bundler (1.0.1) commonwatir (1.6.5) compass (0.10.5) cucumber (0.9.2) cucumber-rails (0.3.2) diff-lcs (1.1.2) erubis (2.6.6) firewatir (1.6.5) gherkin (2.2.8) haml (3.0.21) hoe (2.6.2) httpclient (2.1.5.2) i18n (0.4.1) jquery-rails (0.2.1) json (1.4.6) json_pure (1.4.6) mail (2.2.6.1) mime-types (1.16) nokogiri (1.4.3.1) paperclip (2.3.3) pg (0.9.0) polyglot (0.3.1) rack (1.2.1) rack-mount (0.6.13) rack-test (0.5.6) rails (3.0.0) railties (3.0.0) rake (0.8.7) rspec (2.0.0.rc) rspec-core (2.0.0.rc) rspec-expectations (2.0.0.rc) rspec-mocks (2.0.0.rc) rspec-rails (2.0.0.rc) rubyforge (2.0.4) s4t-utils (1.0.4) spork (0.8.4) term-ansicolor (1.0.5) thor (0.14.2) treetop (1.4.8) tzinfo (0.3.23) user-choices (1.1.6.1) watchr (0.7) webrat (0.7.1) will_paginate (2.3.15) xml-simple (1.0.12) > gem environment RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.7 - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.2 (2010-10-02 patchlevel 14) [x86_64-darwin10.4.0] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: <snip>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-h...@prq - RUBY EXECUTABLE: <snip>/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-head/bin/ruby - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: <snip>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-h...@prq/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86_64-darwin-10 - GEM PATHS: - <snip>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-h...@prq - <snip>/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-h...@global - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :benchmark => false - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - "install" => "--no-rdoc --no-ri" - "update" => "--no-rdoc --no-ri" - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://rubygems.org/ Any idea whether there are gems that set some configuration options that would turn the --backtrace option on for rspec? I'm not sure where to look next, and would be grateful for any suggestions/pointers!
