`spring rspec` doesn't respect rspec's default file matching pattern

[george]

OS X: 10.8.5

∴ rails -v
Rails 4.1.0.beta1

∴ glg spring
spring (1.1.0)
spring-commands-rspec (1.0.1)

∴ rspec -v
2.14.7

Running a bare rspec command correctly picks up all example files matching the pattern: spec/**/*_spec.rb (per the spec).

∴ rspec
.........

However, running spring rspec either does nothing or doesn't find the examples. Here I run spring rspec 3 times:

∴ spring rspec
projekt/ on rails_4.1.0.beta1
∴ spring rspec
projekt/ on rails_4.1.0.beta1
∴ spring rspec
projekt/ on rails_4.1.0.beta1
∴ No examples found.

I've also tried adding --default_path specs to my .rspec file, with the unexpected behavior persisting.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix it? I'm more than happy to contribute, I just need a little direction. Thanks.

Same here. Let me know how to fix this. I got it working with spring rspec spec/ but that should be the default, right?

I'm having the same issues, and the binstub produced by spring binstub rspec displays the same problem.

This issue isn't present when downgrading Spring to the 1.0.0 version.

I had the same problem, but downgrading helped me as well.

I'm observing an issue with 1.0.1 in which spring rspec runs all specs, but if I add arguments for rspec (eg. spring rspec --format doc), then it runs no specs.

Following @mrfoto's lead, I found that adding the spec/ argument after rspec (eg. spring rspec spec/ --format doc) solves the problem. But it seems like this is not the intended behavior.

@brendonrapp try upgrading your version of spring, it should be fixed

@Hussein1147, have you tried updating spring to version 1.1.2?

[Hussein1147]

Problem solved, i had to generate controllers.

[LandonSchropp]

I'm experiencing the same problem as @Hussein1147 using Spring 1.1.2. Running spring rspec spec/ works for me, but that doesn't work with Guard.
