rspec not creating test models when generating model

Question

I've installed rspec through rails g rspec:install. ANd according to the documentation of rspec that would suffice to create models (model_spec.rb)

So I created a model right after rails g model group name:string. It creates a test_unit model but no rspec model. using generate instead of g didn't help either.

Here's my test-part of my gemfile:

group :test do
  gem 'guard-rspec'
  gem 'capybara', '~> 2.0'
  gem 'factory_girl_rails', '~> 4.2'
  gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.14'
  gem 'fuubar'
  gem 'cucumber-rails', require: false
  gem 'guard'
  gem 'guard-bundler'
  gem 'guard-cucumber'
  gem 'rb-inotify', require: false
  gem 'rb-fsevent', require: false
  gem 'rb-fchange', require: false
  gem 'growl'
  gem 'shoulda'
  gem 'simplecov', require: false 
end

Am I forgetting something perhaps?

Do you mean the model_spec.rb files aren't being created?

Yes. I'll rephrase my question. Sorry.

You need to add the gem to the development group too. According to the rspec-rails GitHub page:

Add rspec-rails to both the :development and :test groups in the Gemfile:

rspec-rails on GitHub

After that bundle install and rails generate rspec:install

adding it to group :development, :test did nothing to fix it I'm afraid.

Ah, got it. It's handy to save before you bundle... Your solution did the trick!
