rspec users - May 2010 - Error: can't convert Rspec::Mocks::Mock to String

Hello *,
I started today to test rspec current beta with ruby 1.9.2  and rails
3.0. I created a basic app with a scaffold. I am experiencing a lot of
failures in the geneated controller spec. I am pasting the complete
error string:

can''t convert Rspec::Mocks::Mock to String (Rspec::Mocks::Mock#to_str
gives Rspec::Mocks::Mock)

This is my current rspec gems setup:

rspec (2.0.0.beta.8)
rspec-core (2.0.0.beta.8)
rspec-expectations (2.0.0.beta.8)
rspec-mocks (2.0.0.beta.8)
rspec-rails (2.0.0.beta.8)

Of course no error is raised using ruby 1.9.1 or 1.8.7
Am I missing something?

regards
Andrea

Thanks David.
I added this to my spec_helper.rb file

Rspec::Mocks::Mock.module_eval do
  alias to_str to_s
end

and now it seems to work properly with no side effects, at least for
now
