Rspec, Capybara, Cucumber, Guard & Spork... loads environment twice, runs features twice?

[bsodmike]

Added Cucumber and ran spork cucumber --bootstrap to ensure it bootstrapped env.rb, features are now running twice. In fact, launching guard loads the rails environment twice as well?

I've already got a bootstrapped spec_helper with rspec and guard-rspec installed. Interestingly, specs are only run once. It's only the features that get run twice...

Ideas?

Could you please provide us your Gemfile, Guardfile and spec_helper.rb? Thanks!

  # This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
  ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
  require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
  require 'rspec/rails'
  require "capybara/rspec"
  require "pry"

  # Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
  # in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
  Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

  RSpec.configure do |config|
    config.mock_with :rspec
    config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
    # as per http://railscasts.com/episodes/285-spork
    config.treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values = true
    config.filter_run :focus => true
    config.run_all_when_everything_filtered = true    
  end
end

Spork.each_run do
  # This code will be run each time you run your specs.
  FactoryGirl.reload
end

Right now env.rb is back to the way it was before bootstrapping to prevent this whole loading twice issue.

Sorry I'm not familiar with Cucumber, maybe @netzpirat will be of better help...

[bsodmike]

No problem - thanks =)

[thibaudgg]

I think you have missed the :cli => '--drb' option in guard-cucumber :)

[bsodmike]

That was causing spork to crash so I restarted my mbp and re-bootstrapped env.rb and it's working fine now =)

Ah, sorry I didn't see it! :P Glad all is working fine now!

No worries - thanks remy =)
