I see a couple of problems in the backtrace, and it's hard to know whether resolving them will fix this issue or not. But let's give it a shot: 1. Make sure you have this in your Gemfile: gem 'rspec-rails', :group => [:development, :test] 2. Install the bundle bundle install After you do this, 'gem list rspec' should include rspec, rspec-core, rspec-expectations, rspec-mocks, and rspec-rails. 3. Install rspec rails generate rspec:install 4. Move app/collector_helper_spec.rb to spec/helpers/collector_helper_spec.rb and make sure the following appears at the top: require "spec_helper" Now try running 'rake spec' and if you still run into the any problems, please post (preferably on http://gist.github.com/ or http://pastie.org/) the backtrace and code in spec/helpers/collector_helper_spec.rb, app/helpers/collector_helper.rb.
