[rspec-users] Basic Rspec operation questions

[Wes Gamble]

With Rails, is "rake spec" supposed to automatically run under the test 
environment?  I have to do "rake spec RAILS_ENV=test" in order to get 
the environments/test.rb file to load.

Also, are the standard Test::Unit fixtures automatically loaded before 
each test in each spec file?  This appears to be the case based on my 
current spec's behavior, but wanted to verify.

Thanks,
Wes
