What I'm about to tell you is used internally, is not a formal API, and is subject to change without notice. That said, for the moment, you can do this: if !RSpec.configuration.inclusion_filter[:no_rails] # ... load rails end rspec spec --tag no_rails I created https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/issues/416 to address formalizing an API for this. Comments/suggestions/patches welcome.
