Spork problem
I'm having the following it issue. When I run the specs using spork the following error arises:
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]
I read the following post:
http://groups.google.com/group/sporkgem/browse_thread/thread/46b8358008046986
I saw something related to a monkey patch with the ext/ruby-debugger. It wasn't really related to my issue but I tried to run the specs with --debugger and the error disappears.
So I added this to my prefork:
require 'spork/ext/ruby-debug'
Spork.prefork { SporkDebugger.run } if Spork.using_spork?
The problem is that it solves the issue, but now it takes even more time to run the specs than without Spork.
Do you know why is this happening?
