Can't load reek 1.1.3.13 with 1.1.3.10 installed

Got this in spec_helper.rb:

gem 'kevinrutherford-reek'
require 'reek'
require 'reek/spec'

You get this error:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:149:in `activate': can't activate kevinrutherford-reek (= 1.1.3.10, runtime), already activated kevinrutherford-reek-1.1.3.13 (Gem::Exception)
    from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:35:in `require'

Removing old gems solves it, but it should be able to load?

Ah, this may be a breakdown in backwards compatibility. In 1.1.3.13 the spec matchers have moved. Try:

require 'reek/adapters/spec'

Does that work?
(This series of patch releases -- 1.1.3.x -- are working towards a major 1.2 release that will have numerous incompatible changes compared to 1.1; thanks for beta testing them!)

Actually it seems to work with require 'reek/spec' even with 1.1.3.13 - as long as the old gem isn't there.

If you're going to be doing a lot more refactoring, can you run the final 1.2 tests (or the interim builds) on a server with 1.1 installed? Sounds like it's simply RubyGems searching too hard for files to load.

Reek seems pretty stable so I've got no issue using beta releases!

Will do.
