rake spec not using the rails environment - ruby-on-rails

I'm attempting to use rspec in a rails project I've just upgraded to rails 2.3.2. I've installed rspec 1.2.6 and rspec-rails 1.2.6 as plugins in the app.
My problem is the specs don't have access to my app classes or any of the rails standard libraries.
First I had to specify the model class I want to test by using the full path from RAILS_ROOT but now as it loads the class I get the following
/app/models/person.rb:1: uninitialized constant ActiveRecord (NameError)
from ./spec/models/person_spec.rb:1:in `require'
from ./spec/models/person_spec.rb:1

from /Users/law/Projects/roster/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/command_line.rb:9:in `run'
from /Users/law/Projects/roster/vendor/plugins/rspec/bin/spec:4
rake aborted!
I am launching rspec by calling rake spec from the root of the application.
Any ideas on what might be missing in this situation?

you need indeed include the spec_helper.rb in every spec file you write....
You can run individual specs that way:
$ spec specs/models/person_spec.rb
instead of always running the whole spec suite

I havn't used spec, so this may not solve your problem, but if you're writing your own rake task and need your rails environment, you have to ask for it.
task(:task_name => :environment) do
# Task Implementation Here
end

How do I solve this rspec-support version error?

When I try running the rspec file of a task of my ruby application by using the command
rspec /Users/priyanshu.sahoo/Desktop/Fk/ltl-worker/spec/tasks/four_kites_common/background_job/tasks/calculate_auto_delivery_appointment_time_task_spec.rb
I get this error.

Unable to run RSPec using RubyMine. RSpec running fine with ubuntu terminal

I am facing issue with running RSpec using RubyMine. I am getting the following error whenever I attempt to run test with RubyMine. But if I use normal Ubuntu terminal, things all working fine.
Do anyone know why I am getting this error? If there is any gem issue or any path issue, then I should not be able to run it via terminal also right?

My Conf:
It seems like it invoked the rspec command directly without using bundle exec and hence the gem dependency wasn't handled correctly.
You can try enable running your rspec in Rubymine with bundler context enabled so that the gems can be loaded correctly. See attached image for the configuration.

I cant run my rspec in Ruby on Rails

I cant really get going with my Rspec-gem :) Unfortunately. It seems like the Rspec-rails gem works differently now? Any idea?
This is my error Im getting:
testing_rspec/spec/models/transport_spec.rb:2:in `<top (required)>': uninitialized constant Transport (NameError)
from /Users/yoniPacheko/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/rspec-core-3.0.3/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:1057:in `load'
My spec file:
require 'spec_helper'
describe Transport do
end
This is my file
Thanks for yr time!
If this is a newly-generated app, you should be using require 'rails_helper', instead of requiring spec_helper.
rspec-rails 3 has split the two out so that spec_helper can be used for standalone Ruby code, and rails_helper (which includes spec_helper) can be used for testing code that relies on Rails.

Rails 3 - How do I get Rspec spec/ & autotest to work?

I was all setup with Rspec and Autotest before I updated to Rails 3.
When running rspec spec/ I'm getting:
* spec/spec.opts is deprecated.
* please use ./.rspec or ~/.rspec instead.
I tried changed spec.opts to spec.rspec and running rspec spec/ again. But now I get a whole mess of warnings:
DEPRECATION WARNING: Use toplevel init.rb; rails/init.rb is deprecated:
DEPRECATION WARNING: reset_javascript_include_default is deprecated. Please manipulate config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] directly.
DEPRECATION WARNING: RAILS_ENV is deprecated. Please use ::Rails.env.
DEPRECATION WARNING: Use toplevel init.rb; rails/init.rb is deprecated:

Autotest isn't working either. I'm getting:
.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/bin/ruby -I.:lib:test -rubygems -e "['test/unit', 'spec/integration/layout_links_spec.rb', 'test/unit/color_test.rb', 'test/functional/products_controller_test.rb', 'spec/integration/users_spec.rb', 'test/functional/colors_controller_test.rb', 'test/unit/product_test.rb', 'test/unit/helpers/products_helper_test.rb', 'test/unit/helpers/colors_helper_test.rb'].each { |f| require f }" | .rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/autotest-4.3.2/bin/unit_diff -u

Any ideas?
The deprecation warnings are because of your upgrade to Rails 3, not because of RSpec. Rails 3 has a very different architecture, and the API has also changed significantly. Have you run your project through the rails_upgrade plugin? Also, check out the Rails 3 Release Notes for help on fixing the parts of your application that rely on deprecated functionality.
The second issue is probably because ruby 1.9.2 no longer puts the current directory on the load path. You'll need to manually include spec/ into the load path from your spec.opts.

"uninitialized constant" when running RSpec tests with Rails 2.3.8 and Bundler

I just changed my Rails 2.3.8 project to load gems using Bundler, rather than the default Rails 2.3 loading mechanism. I followed the official instructions and the site runs fine in development. I use RVM for gem management, and have a specific gemset loaded for the application.
My RSpec test suite is unable to run, however. I have tried running both the entire suite and single tests using a variety of commands:
autospec # My usual way of running tests
rake spec
spec .
spec spec/models/comment_spec.rb # Trying a single spec file in isolation
ruby spec/models/comment_spec.rb
I have also tried running them all prefixed with bundle exec. Everything returns the same error:

I'm pretty sure the problem is not related to the Inherited Resources gem - I think gems are not loaded at all at this point, and Inherited Resources just happens to be the first one needed.
The thing that's baffling me is that /activesupport-2.3.8/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:158 requires /app/controllers/admin/base_controller during the initialization phase. It shouldn't do that, and it certaintly doesn't do it in development mode. I can comment out gem 'inherited_resources' in my Gemfile, and site still runs. It's not until I hit an action that loads a controller that use Inherited Resources I get the "uninitialized constant" error.
For clarity, here's my Gemfile and spec_helper.rb.
Even older question, but I had the same issue with Bundler 1.0.3, Rspec-Rails 1.3.3 & Rails 2.3.8 and was able to boil it down to remarkable_rails. Remarkable-Rails seems to load rspec/rails before the initializers are run by the environment.
After adding :require => nil to it in the Gemfile and requiring it by hand in spec_helper AFTER requiring the rails-environment the issue disappeared.
I realize this is an old question, but I just came across the same problem.
I had the 1.3.0 version of rspec and rspec-rails required by my application. Looking at the rspec-rails changelog, I noticed there were a few bug fixes after 1.3.0. Upgrading rspec-rails to 1.3.2 fixed everything for me.
To fix this problem I changed by Gemfile from:
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 1.3.2', :require => 'spec/rails'
to
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 1.3.2'
and added the following to my spec helper
require 'spec/rails'
