I'm trying to debug what I suspect is a case where spec_helper.rb is not
being executed.
I put a puts statement inside the Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
block, and I can't ever see the printout.
When does spec_helper.rb get run during rspec operation?
What does your spec_helper.rb contain?
AFAIK, it gets executed before anything else - usually it contains
Spec::Runner.configure { .. }
It is the standard default spec_helper.rb (see below). I could find no
reference to it in the rake "spec" task. I added this:
require '../../spec/spec_helper'
to the "spec" task and now it gets all of the config from spec_helper
(including RAILS_ENV which was not being set before).

It contains:
# This file is copied to ~/spec when you run 'ruby script/generate rspec'
# from the project root directory.
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = "test"
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")
require 'spec'
require 'spec/rails'
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
puts "In config block of Spec::Runner"
# If you're not using ActiveRecord you should remove these
# lines, delete config/database.yml and disable :active_record
# in your config/boot.rb
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + '/spec/fixtures/'
# == Fixtures
#
# You can declare fixtures for each example_group like this:
# describe "...." do
# fixtures :table_a, :table_b
#
# Alternatively, if you prefer to declare them only once, you can
# do so right here. Just uncomment the next line and replace the fixture
# names with your fixtures.
#
# config.global_fixtures = :table_a, :table_b
#
# If you declare global fixtures, be aware that they will be declared
# for all of your examples, even those that don't use them.
#
# == Mock Framework
#
# RSpec uses it's own mocking framework by default. If you prefer to
# use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
#
# config.mock_with :mocha
# config.mock_with :flexmock
# config.mock_with :rr
