RSpec not setting environment to test #70

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.

Set RAILS_ENV to test in rails_helper
f1c82c4 
This is a solution to tests running in development environment as stated in issues rspec#70 and rspec#586.
Before Rails 3.2.7 ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'test' ran tests without issues in test env as discussed in rails/rails#7175 (comment).

Force RAILS_ENV=test during testing.

The fact that RSpec uses ||= is because they don't want to 'force'
people to use the 'test' Rails.env (source: rspec/rspec-rails#70 (comment))
I am happy to force us to use Rails.env `test`
