Uninitialized constant Spec::Rails (NameError) when running spec command

Testing RSpec
1

I get the following error when trying to run a spec command on a model
test.

The command is :- C:\Rspec Test\spec\models>spec bank_account_spec.rb

The error is :-

c:/jruby-1.5.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-rails-1.3.0/lib/spec/rails/
matchers/ ar_be_valid.rb:2: uninitialized constant Spec::Rails

jruby-1.5.0/bin/spec:22

I actually tried changing version to 1.3.0 in the C:\jruby-1.5.0\bin
\spec file but it results in the same error. Please advice.

The rspec command is designed to be run from the project root. Try:

C:\Rspec Test>spec spec\models\spec bank_account_spec.rb
