So I'm attempting to set up my local system to help finish off an existing project from an employer who uses only rails. They want me to primarily focus on rspec testing as the project is nearly functional and I need to flesh out the things they've missed. However, I cannot get 'rake spec' to build my test folder. As it is, the test folder contains a few basic user login tests using Selenium (I didn't write them). Here is the trace from the error:

rake aborted!
As it is, I'm pretty sure I understand the problem(maybe?). Line 2 in selenium-clients's spec_helper.rb says require 'spec'
which, if I'm not mistaken, is saying that selenium-client should contain a folder called spec
which contains all of its rspec stuff. selenium-client does not have this folder, so I'm a little bit confused as to how its supposed to require the folder in the first place. If I change the line to require 'rspec'
, there are numerous other references to things within this imaginary spec folder that will also cause rake to abort.
I'm running Ruby 1.8.7, Rails 3.0.3, and the latest version of selenium. Any help would be amazing, I've been stuck googling this problem for over a day now and haven't been able to come up with a fix.
