rspec users - Dec 2010 - Rspec2 - Absolutely brilliant! (at breaking stuff) - Is there a downgrade path ?

Just installed Rspec2 and noticed an immediate improvement in speed:
it broke all 899 passing tests on an important project in a matter of
seconds.

Sadly, I don''t have the time to work my way through the multitude
upgrade errors (it''s not just one error repeated), so I tried to
remove rspec2 and the new rspec-rails and downgrade to the previous
version.

It didn''t work, and I''m still getting the following message
when I
autospec:

************************************************************
REMOVAL NOTICE: you are using behaviour that has been
removed from rspec-2.

* The ''autospec'' command is no longer supported.
* Please use ''autotest'' insted.

This message will be removed from a future version of rspec.
************************************************************

Running autotest rather than autospec gives the following:

Autotest style autotest/rails_rspec2 doesn''t seem to exist. Aborting.


I''m proud to be a good little BDD developer: I just don''t need
an
upgrade to give me headaches right now, so....

Does anyone have any idea how to get back to a previous Rspec version
so I can work properly again?


(Not saying Rspec2 isn''t fantastic. I''m sure it is.
I''ll try to make
it work again over the Xmas break, when I have lots of hours free)

maybe just being stupid here but surely your using git or some sort of scm?

stash your progress with rspec 2 in another branch then reset your
current branch..
$ git reset --hard <sha-before-rspec2>

You can uninstall RSpec2 by:

gem uninstall -v ''>= 2.0.0'' rspec

So RSpec-1 will be automatically activated.

If you did ''gem cleanup'', you can re-install RSpec-1 by:

gem install -v ''< 2.0.0'' rspec

----
Antoher way, you can specify which version of RSpec to be used in your  
code.
(If you don''t use ''spec'' command to launch test)
Change:

gem "rspec"

to

gem "rspec", "< 2.0.0"


Best Regards.
