rspec users - Dec 2010 - RSpec 2.1.0 Start up problems

I have a simple model as shown below:
# == Schema Information
# Schema version: 20101101014544
#
# Table name: base_folders
#
#  id         :integer         not null, primary key
#  name       :string(255)
#  created_at :datetime
#  updated_at :datetime
#

class BaseFolder < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name
  validates_presence_of :name, :message => "^You must specify a base
folder name."
end

And the spec: spec/models/base_folder.rb which contains

require ''spec_helper''

describe BaseFoler do

  describe "failure" do
    it "Base folder cannot be saved without a name" do
      base_folder = Factory.build(:base_folder, :name =>
'''')
      base_folder.should_not be_valid
    end
  end

  describe "success" do
    it "should be valid with a name attribute" do
      course = Factory(:course)
      base_folder = Factory(:base_folder)
      base_folder.should be_valid
    end
  end

end

When I execute:

rspec spec/models/base_folder_spec.rb, I get the following stack
trace:


? rspec spec/models/base_folder_spec.rb

What am I missing?

This failure message ^^ already tells you what I''m about to tell you:

The class name is BaseFolder, but you typed BaseFoler (without a
''d'').

Cheers,

Thanks David and apologies.  I should have looked harder.
By the way, I have an extensive Shoulda test suite for my open source
Rails 3 project.  Do you have any advice on how to port it to RSpec?
Here is the link in case you are interested
http://www.github.com/bruparel/file_manager3
Currently it uses Shoulda/Webrat/Cucumber stack.  I am moving it to
Rspec/Capybara/Cucumber, any thoughts?
