RSpec not setting environment to test

[samflores]

I'm trying Rspec-2.0.0.beta.10 with Rails-3.0.0.beta3 and Ruby-1.9.2-preview3 and my environment is not getting set to 'test' as it should. I tryed using the spec command, rake spec and autotest but both Rails.env and ENV['RAILS_ENV'] are always 'development'.

At first I thought it was an Mongoid issue, but I created a new project using ActiveRecord and sqlite3 and the problem still exists.

This is only w/ 1.9.2?

I've just tested with 1.8.7-p248 and the problem is still there

I've just changed
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
from the generated spec_helper.rb to
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] = 'test'
and it worked well.
I believe something is setting the env before RSpec but I cannot figure out what. Already looked at my dotfiles and the entire application code and did not found where it's being set.

I can't duplicate this in a fresh app or any of the apps I'm running using 'rspec' or 'rake spec'. I don't want to force it to 'test' because that ties everybody's hands.

I'm going to close this, but if you can find a way for me to reproduce it, please comment on this ticket and I'll reopen it.
