infinite loop using --drb in spec.opts and rspec 1.3.0 about spork

[timcharper]

this is really weird: I've never run into this, that, now that you mention it, it's weird that I haven't!

I would say that this problem lies on the RSpec side: RSpec shouldn't be sending the --drb parameter over. I will have to take a look and see why it doesn't happen in rails.

Can you run the cucumber features and see if you can reproduce it with those? (Spork is quite heavily tested with integration tests, I run them against versions of rails 2.1.0 through 2.3.5)

On installing rspec 1.3.2 in a rails 2.3 app, I ran into this also. I'll figure out some hack around, but definitely in a console, Spec::Runner.options starts the infinite loop.

Any solutions?

I ended up upgrading to rails 3...

I wound up getting rid of spec.opts and adding the options to the :opts parameter in Guard.
