Description

Not sure if this is an issue or a user problem, but inconsistently, cover_me returns a report of 0 files (with 0% coverage). I'm using rspec tests, typically running through a spork server with --drb set in .rspec, and autotest. I've tried shutting down spork, autotest & removing the --drb call, but it still returns 0 coverage most of the time. And yet - every now and then - it returns the correct coverage report. Can't figure out why, can't think of anything I'm doing differently.

Rails 3.0.3, RSpec 2.4.0, cover_me 1.0.0.rc5

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the zero-file report with Rails 3.0.3, RSpec 2.4.0, cover_me 1.0.0.rc5, and the listed Spork, autotest, and --drb setup, then compare it with a successful run. Done means coverage reports consistently include the expected files.
