When you run a spec suite, RSpec delegates to Rails to do the same work it does 
before and after a test suite. One task it runs is db:schema:load, which is 
defined in Rails. It asks the configured database for a list of tables and then 
tries to drop and recreate them. This ensures that any data from a previous run 
is removed, and the schema for the test db matches that of the development db.

The message tells you the underlying problem: there are database constraints 
that are not allowing the tables to be deleted in the order in which the rake 
task is trying to delete them. For whatever reason, the active record adapter 
you are using is not invoking a cascading delete. What adapter are you using? 
What database? Also, what other db-related gems do you have in the app? Just 
type `jruby -S bundle show`.
