I'm using RSpec for testing and when I left work Friday afternoon, my tests were passing. But when I went home and synced my repository, the tests failed on my laptop. Now back at work, the tests are failing still. Don't believe its my code since running rspec by itself returns an error and spork won't even start up. When I try to start Spork, I get the following error message:

The Uninitialized Constant error is a variation of a regular NameError exception class. It has several possible causes. You'll see this error when the code refers to a class or module that it can't find, often because the code doesn't include require, which instructs the Ruby file to load the class.
The word describe is an RSpec keyword. It is used to define an “Example Group”. You can think of an “Example Group” as a collection of tests. The describe keyword can take a class name and/or string argument.
I ran into this problem. In the spec_helper.rb try replacing:
require "rails" with
require "rails/all" Worked in my situation.

You need to initialize environment, add this line to spec_helper.rb:
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
