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

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!

Cheers,
