Ha - I think I found the problem: In my Gemfile I had:
group :test, :cucumber do # , :development (till we work out why plugins don't load with rspec) gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 1.3.4' , :require => 'spec/rails' gem 'rspec', '~> 1.3.2', :require => 'spec' gem "capybara", "0.3.9" gem "cucumber", "0.9.4" gem "cucumber-rails", "0.3.2" gem 'database_cleaner' end removing the :require => ... lines seemed to fix the problem So you were right - it was all my fault ;) thanks for prodding me in the right direction. cheers jc _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
