I've have the same thing happening after updating RSpec from v1 v2. It runs from the command line, and it executes from RubyMine. Netbeans gives it problems, however. I wish I could provide you with better formatted lines.

This is almost a year old - is it still an issue?

a) Yes it is.
b) I get around it by doing rspec from the command line.
c) Netbeans has dropped support of Ruby. Correct?

According to http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubySupport, yes, Ruby support has dropped and your only option is to use an older version of Netbeans. I'm going to close this issue as I can't rationalize hacking rspec to support an IDE that is no longer supporting Ruby.

Completely understood. I think the JetBrains IDE supports rspec just fine.

Netbeans 7.0.1 has a Ruby/Rails Plugin and the issue still exists
