When I try to start rspec, I get an "uninitialized persistent ActiveModel"

When I run rspec spec, I get the following:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rspec-rails-2.7.0/lib/rspec/rails/extensions/active_record/base.rb:26:in ``: uninitialized constant ActiveModel (NameError )

    from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rspec-core-2.7.1/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:10:in `block in autorun '

My spec_helper.rb looks like this:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require 'spec_helper'
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'spork'

Spork.prefork do
  ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'test'
  require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
  require 'rspec/rails'

  RSpec.configure do |config|
    config.mock_with :rspec
    config.fixture_path = "#{Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
    config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

    ActiveSupport::Dependencies.clear
  end
end

Spork.each_run do
  load "#{Rails.root}/config/routes.rb"
  Dir["#{Rails.root}/app/**/*.rb"].each {|f| load f}
end

Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.mock_with :rspec
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
  config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false
end

Dir[Rails.root.join('spec/support/**/*.rb')].each{|f| require f}

If I delete the pages_controller_spec file, the errors disappear. But I have zero specifications to run.

The error returns when I have something even simple:

require 'spec_helper'

describe PagesController do
  it "should do something..."
end

Also, if I add any tests, no matter where I get the same error.

Any tips on other things I can try?

rspec spec? - rake spec.

bundle exec rspec spec bundle exec rake spec.

, , - - bundle exec rails console bundle exec rails server

, , - .rspec ~/.rspec?
