rspec users - Sep 2006 - DRb error when using rails_spec on OS X

Hi, all-

I started playing with RSpec in a new Rails app.  I''ve installed the
plugin and bootstrapped it, and run ''script/rails_spec_runner''
(not
rails_spec_server as the website currently reads, btw) in a separate
shell, then in another shell I run ''script/rails_spec'' and get
the
following:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:837:in `getaddrinfo'': getaddrinfo:
No address associated with nodename (SocketError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:837:in
`open_server_inaddr_any''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:860:in `open_server''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:756:in `open_server''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:754:in `open_server''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1336:in `initialize''
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1624:in `start_service''
        from script/rails_spec:6

Running ''rake spec:models'' does work, though with the same
overhead of
''rake test:units''.

I''m on Mac OS 10.4.7 running ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24)
[powerpc-darwin8.4.0] and RSpec 0.6.3.  The firewall on this machine
is active, but I''ve opened port 8989 for both TCP and UDP (you know,
just in case) with no change in behavior.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Sam

I''ve fixed this on trunk. The file will from now on be called
script/rails_spec_server as the docs say.

That should give you the same as if you run just ''spec'' (the
standard
rspec help). What you should do is  ''script/rails_spec spec''
although
your problem seems to be related to something else.

Weird. I can''t reproduce this. I have the same versions of everything
as you.
It''s probably a drb issue.

Let''s determine whether it''s a pure Drb problem. Can you get
this
example to work?
=> http://www.rubycentral.com/book/ospace.html#UG

If that doesn''t work your problem is outside rspec. Let me know how it
goes and I''ll dig further.

Try these:

a) Replace ''druby://localhost:8989'' with
''druby://localhost:0'' in both
rails_spec and rails_spec_runner

b) Replace ''druby://localhost:8989'' with
''druby://localhost.localdomain:8989:'' in both rails_spec and
rails_spec_runner

c) Replace ''druby://localhost:8989'' with
''druby://127.0.0.1:8989:'' in
both rails_spec and rails_spec_runner

Do any of these get you further?

Looks like it, yes.

Nope, same issue (and therefore, officially Not Your Problem).

Same behavior...

and

Doing this, rails_spec_runner aborts with the following:

Same as (a), above.

Thanks for the help, though.  The spec runner will probably work on
the Windows box where I''ve been doing most of my for-pay Rails dev
anyway; this was certainly enough for me to get a flavor of using
RSpect with Rails.  (It''s certainly no slower than the Test::Unit
stuff... and as a bonus, it doesn''t overload %w( unit functional
integration ).  (
