With that said, I'm wondering what the accepted way to setup gem
dependencies on rspec and rspec-rails is. Should one not bother? Should the
"config.gem" lines go in config/environments/test.rb ?

I don't bother to use config.gem with rspec, but if you do then yes it
should go in test.rb

I don't either, but I'd like to get it working for ppl who want to do it.

If anybody w/ config.gem fu wants to help, that'd be awesome.

I think this kinda works for us, but I had a couple of issues. One is the problem with rake files, which will depend on RSpec being visible to rake when it loads (which will ignore your vendor/gems folder). I fixed that by putting the rake file in a huge begin / rescue / end block so when the require 'spec' fails it doesn't load the rest of the rake tasks. Ugly but functional.

The other issue was to do with a line in spec/rails which clobbers the value of RAILS_ENV to be 'test' whatever it was previously set to. We use an unconventional 'features' environment for running features (means I can run cukes at the same time as specs) but this was going hay-wire. I think David has put a patch for this into rspec-rails' head but I don't know if it's made it's way into a gem yet.

So yeah, executive summary: What Pat said.
