Running RSpec 2.99 (I know, I know, but I’m working on bringing my project up to date), and one section of one of my spec files gives that error. I’m not necessarily looking for a fix as much as a strategy for troubleshooting. Each of the three examples by itself will cause the same problem (both by isolating them on the command line and by commenting out the code). I also tried eliminating the “before” block (and FWIW, the call being tested works fine in production, not that that really means anything).
The section in question looks like: require 'spec_helper' describe UserDistributor do … describe '#scrape_sales_data' do let(:ud) { FactoryGirl.create :user_distributor, :nook } before do allow_any_instance_of(DistributorWorker).to receive(:scrape_sales_data_for_user).and_return(true) end subject { ud.scrape_sales_data } it 'sets the user scrape_status field' do expect { subject }.to change { ud.user.scrape_status } end it 'creates a distributor worker' do expect(ud.distributor).to receve(:worker) subject end it 'calls #scrape_sales_data_for_user on the distibutor worker with the UD' do expect_any_instance_of(DistributorWorker).to receive(:scrape_sales_data_for_user).with(ud) subject end end end I get the following output (using —format documentation and —backtrace): UserDistributor #scrape_sales_data sets the user scrape_status field (FAILED - 1) creates a distributor worker (FAILED - 2) calls #scrape_sales_data_for_user on the distibutor worker with the UD (FAILED - 3) Failures: 1) UserDistributor#scrape_sales_data sets the user scrape_status field /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_formatter.rb:209:in `find_failed_line': undefined method `detect' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_formatter.rb:191:in `read_failed_line' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter.rb:300:in `dump_failure_info' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter.rb:294:in `dump_failure' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter.rb:24:in `block in dump_failures' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter.rb:22:in `each' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter.rb:22:in `each_with_index' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/formatters/base_text_formatter.rb:22:in `dump_failures' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/reporter.rb:130:in `block in notify' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/reporter.rb:129:in `each' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/reporter.rb:129:in `notify' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/reporter.rb:109:in `finish' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/reporter.rb:60:in `report' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/command_line.rb:21:in `run' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:103:in `run' from /Users/jackrg/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p576/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.99.2/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:17:in `block in autorun' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "rspec" group.
