Hi, I''m fairly new to Rails and v. new to RSpec. Think it looks pretty useful and so I''m trying it out for the first time. I have installed the rspec-rails gem and created a simple plain text my_story file and my_story.rb file along the lines described here - http://www.tomtenthij.co.uk/2008/1/25/rspec-plain-text-story-runner-on-a-fresh-rails-app. When I run stories/my_story.rb it blows up and the thing that seems most significant in the error messages is "uninitialized constant Spec::Story (NameError)" which seems to originate from story_adapter.rb:66, where the class Spec::Story::Runner::ScenarioRunner is defined. Would appreciate any guidance towards a resolution of this issue. Thanks, Mark

Good shot - that worked! :-) Still, I''m curious as to why. Poking around with my very rudimentary knowledge of how ruby gems work, it looks as if the files that define Spec::Stories are in the rspec gem, not the rspec-rails gem, and as far as I can see there is nothing in the skeleton files that get installed in <app>/stories to require those files. Does this suggest that the line you recommended should be added to the release? But am I the only person to have this problem? Mark.

So it wasn''t really in the dark, but I wasn''t 100% sure it was the same problem. :) I think either the helper.rb generator changed and removed the ''spec/story'' line or the rails adapter changed and removed the needed require it may of once had. So the problem should be fixed in one of those places IMO. We just had a series of rspec releases and I don''t know if this would qualify for another emergency fix.

Mark, what nobody seems to a have mentioned on this thread is that you''re using a branch of the story runner that''s probably going to be retired. There''s no reason why you should know - the rspec.info site is a bit out of date in this regard.
