[rspec-users] Possible Problem with RSpec and

[James B. Byrne]

Sorry to be such a pest but I am trying to learn Ruby, Rails and RSpec all
at one go and it is a bit overwhelming.  I have previously completed the
depot tutorial in the Agile Web Dev with rails book and now I am trying do
do it again using RSpec.

What I would like to know now is why I am getting a rake failure error at
the end of every spec:models run.  Is this the expected behaviour when a
test / expectation fails?
