RSpec 2.1.0 Start up problems

Testing RSpec
1

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:

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’).

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

Currently it uses Shoulda/Webrat/Cucumber stack. I am moving it to
Rspec/Capybara/Cucumber, any thoughts?
