Why is Rspec saying “Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace”?

by

This is due to a bug in RSpec 2.0.0.beta.19. If you use 2.0.0.beta.18 as the tutorial suggests, it will work fine. Just change whatever version you have in your Gemfile to beta 18, bundle install and run the tests again.

Here’s the relevant parts from my Gemfile.

group :development do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.0.0.beta.18'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.0.0.beta.18'
  gem 'spork', '0.8.4'
end

Also note that Spork can also cause problems like this from time to time. If you get inexplicable test failures, especially if you just added new controllers or actions, go give spork a kick. Hit Ctrl-C and run the spork server again.
