Rails and RSpec: `rake spec` runs all specs twice
rspec-rails, ruby-on-rails
Solution
For me this was due to a duplicate entry in my .rspec file. Can't tell if that was the problem here because the .rspec file's in the .gitignore but basically if you do this:
-- format progress
-- format documentation
In your rspec file you will see the tests output twice.
Problem
I set up a new Rails 4 app using RSpec. But when running `rake rspec`, all the examples are run twice: ``` rake spec [deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future. If you really want to skip validation of your locale you can set I18n.enforce_available_locales = false to avoid this message. /Users/josh/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/bin/ruby -S rspec ./spec/controllers/dashboards_controller_spec.rb ./spec/models/member_spec.rb ./spec/requests/members_spec.rb ./spec/routing/members_routing_spec.rb [deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future.

How should I try to debug this? Running `rspec` works like a charm, but I'm eager to find out what's the problem here. Here's my `spec_helper.rb`: https://github.com/jmuheim/transition/blob/master/spec/spec_helper.rb And here's the original Rails project: https://github.com/jmuheim/transition Update I found that the `spec` rake task seems to be defined twice (notice the `/` that separates the description of each task): ``` $ rake -T | grep spec ... rake spec # Run all specs in spec directory (excluding plugin specs) / Run RSpec code examples ... ``` One of them is described with `Run all specs in spec directory (excluding plugin specs)`, one with `Run RSpec code examples`. `Run RSpec code examples` seems to come from `rspec/core/rake_task.rb`. `Run all specs in spec directory (excluding plugin specs)` seems to come from `rspec/rails/tasks/rspec.rake`. It seems to me that only one of them should exist?! Update 2 It seems to be a problem with `rspec-rails` being in both the `test` and `development` groups. I added an issue about this here: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/904
