I've inherited an old Rails2.3 app. It's very complex and has (shock, horror) no tests whatsoever. I'm used to rspec and cucumber so I thought I'd start working on getting specs and features defined for the eventual (long-away) upgrade to Rails 3. It's easier to upgrade if I know exactly what will fail.
Anyway, I found it very difficult to find resources on the internet that show how to set up rspec, cucumber, factory girl, and shoulda in a rails 2.3 environment. My bundle is as follows:
source "http://rubygems.org"
# Production gems
gem "rails", "2.3.10"
gem "nokogiri", "1.4.4"
gem "mysql", "~> 2.8.1"
group :development do
# bundler requires these gems in development
gem 'rspec', '1.3.2'
gem 'rspec-core', '2.5.2'
gem 'rspec-rails', '1.3.4'
end
group :test do
# bundler requires these gems while running tests
gem 'cucumber-rails', '0.4.1'
gem 'factory_girl'
gem 'shoulda', '2.11.3'
gem 'shoulda-matchers'
end
When I go to run
bundle exec rspec spec,
I get the following stacktrace from shoulda:

Googling for that error provides frighteningly few hits... I'm not sure what I've done wrong?
Removing rspec-core gives:
bundle exec rspec spec/models/announcement_spec.rb /Users/sys/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2011.03@proj/gems/bundler-1.0.14/lib/bundler/rubygems_integration.rb:143:in `gem': rspec-core is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile. (Gem::LoadError)

cat /opt/local/bin/rspec

# This file was generated by RubyGems.

if ARGV.first =~ /^_(.*)_$/ and Gem::Version.correct? $1 then

ARGV.shift

gem 'rspec-core', version
load Gem.bin_path('rspec-core', 'rspec', version)
I wonder if this is conflicting with other rspec's I have installed (I've a Rails3 app installed, also with bundler/rvm)... Not sure why rspec is being run out of opt/local/bin and not the bundle, though..
I ran into this same problem. After hunting down all binary rspec commands (several locations), I belatedly realized that the 1.3.2 branch of RSPEC titles its binary "spec" and not "rspec".
So the correct commands was always "bundle exec spec spec/models/..." Putting "rspec" meant that bundler failed to find it in my current rvm/gemset and went searching through my entire path, eventually coming up with an /opt/local/bin copy that belonged to an rspec2.x install.
It is possible that an alias allows rspec 1.3.2 to also respond to the "rspec" command, but that was not the case for me. Using "spec" was 100% reliable for avoiding that call for rspec-core and other 2.x modules.
Thanks for the question and all the research above. Charles
It looks like rspec-core, which is from a version of rspec that only supports Rails 3, may be the problem. Try uninstalling that and removing it from your Gemfile.
For comparison, here's a section from our Gemfile that works fine for Rails 2.3:
group :development, :local, :test do
gem "rspec", "= 1.3.1"
gem "rspec-rails", "= 1.3.3"
gem "factory_girl", "= 1.3.3"
gem "webrat", "= 0.7.3"
gem "shoulda", "= 2.11.3"
end
A bundle update rspec-rails
fixed this issue for me on rails 3.1.
