No, at least nothing consciously as I am rather green overall at using
rspec. This seems to be happening across projects --- I kind of took it for
a necessary evil until now where it started eating into my time and
patience. In fact the spec where this was happening was just a one-liner
"Model.all.size.should == 3" or the like. This is my spec helper, if that
helps:

# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'paperclip/matchers'

require Rails.root.join('db','seeds')

# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.mock_with :rspec

  # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord
fixtures
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

  # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of
your
  # examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
  # instead of true.
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

  config.include Paperclip::Shoulda::Matchers
end
