Rspec2, Rails3, can't run rspec spec

I just installed Rspec2 in my Rails3 (3.0.3) project. When I run rspec spec from rails root I get:

No examples were matched. Perhaps {:if=>#<Proc:0x00000100933388@/Users/ivan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/rspec-core-2.5.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:50 (lambda)>, :unless=>#<Proc:0x00000100933360@/Users/ivan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/rspec-core-2.5.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:51 (lambda)>} is excluding everything?

I can run rspec name_of_spec_test.rb directly and that seems to work, but not the generic "rspec spec" command. Also, if I add require 'spec_helper.rb' to the top of my name_of_spec_test.rb file I get:

I am using RVM to manage my rails environment.

I don't know if this is relevant, but when I initially ran script/rails generate rspec:install it only installed .rspec, created the spec dir and spec/spec_helper.rb.

Also, I'm not using rails migrations because we have a variety of databases that we connect to. So, when I create a model, and I test it, I manually create a spec/models directory and put my *_test.rb rspec file in it.

Any ideas about what I'm missing here, would be greatly appreciated!

Here's my Gemfile, spec_helper.rb file, and test.rb files.

end

spec_helper.rb:

  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test

  # Use SQL instead of Active Record's schema dumper when creating the test database.

end

Thanks for any thoughts in advance!

Looks like you were correct by adding spec_helper, and maybe put rsolr in a group => [:development, :production], because it looks like the test environment is loading Solr and failing for some reason?

You might check your default pattern. Looks like you said your files were named "spec/models/XXXX_test.rb" and rspec looks for the "_spec.rb" ending by default.
