Rspec does not generate * _spec.rb file in Rails 4 beta

Question

I already have rspec-rails gem installed. When I run rails g model movie showtime_date:date showtime_time:time , I think I should get

 invoke active_record create db/migrate/20130604010556_create_movies.rb create app/models/movie.rb invoke rspec create spec/models/movie_spec.rb 

But when I ran rails g model movie showtime_date:date showtime_time:time I get

 invoke active_record create db/migrate/xxxxxxxxxxx_create_movies.rb create app/models/movie.rb invoke test_unit create test/models/movie_test.rb create test/fixtures/movies.yml 

Is there a problem with my gem package? I am using Rails4 beta. Does this version have a bug or something else?

The BDD for my application looks like this: app/features/show_descripitons.feature

 Feature: Showtime Descriptions As a movie goer I want to see accurate and concise showtimes So that I can find movies that fit my schedule @wip Scenario: Show minutes for times ending with 00 Given a movie When I set the showtime to "2013-05-04" at "2:15pm" Then the showtime description should be "June 04, 2013(2pm)" Scenario: Hide minutes for times ending with 00 Given a movie When I set the showtime to "2013-05-04" at "2:00pm" Then the showtime description should be "June 04, 2013(2pm)" 

and my app/features/step_definition/showtime_descriptions.rb is

 Given(/^a movie$/) do @movie = Movie.create! end When(/^I set the showtime to "(.*?)" at "(.*?)"$/) do |date, time| @movie.update_attribute(:showtime_date, Date.parse(date)) @movie.update_attribute(:showtime_time, time) end Then(/^the showtime description should be "(.*?)"$/) do |showtime| @movie.showtime.showtime eq(showtime) end

I have to put my this code in config / application.rb

  config.generators do |g| g.template_engine :erb g.test_framework :rspec, :fixture => true, :views => false g.integration_tool :rspec, :fixture => true, :views => true g.fixture_replacement :factory_girl, :dir => "spec/support/factories" end

Well, I also ran into a similar issue with 4.1. But in the end, the next ticket helped me solve the problem. https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/439

In short, you must make sure that rspec-rails is in the development group, and not just in the test group. With this small change and bundle install I got all the specification files created automatically.

It looks like you added RSpec after you created the rails project. You will need to remove the test block generator link. Make sure you run rails g rspec:install and that config/application.rb ( http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/generators.html#customizing-your-workflow does not indicate the following:

 g.test_framework :test_unit, fixture: true 

When creating a new rails project, you can omit the test module with the -T, [--skip-test-unit] flag -T, [--skip-test-unit] .
