Okay, I admit and I newbie when it comes to this stuff. I'm using Rails 3 (latest) and I put this line in my Gemfile:
group :test do gem 'rspec-rails' end I'm guessing that's going to get the latest version of rspec-rails. As for other questions, I'm running Ruby 1.9.1 on Windows 7 64-bit (not exactly the best OS for out-of-the-box working and stable use of Ruby, I know). In my IDE, If I run the same could out of RSpec, it is basically instant. If I run RSpec, it reports that the test only took 5 seconds, but the entire execution was 20 seconds. If I had more dummy tests in the same Spec file, it is basically instant. So my guess is that 15 seconds is used by Rails and 5 seconds is used by RSpec? My guess is that the actual code in the tests is a few milliseconds.
