RSpec is Freezing

I have rspec configured installed in my rails app. It was working fine (We are just experimenting with rspec so there's only 2 tests).

They were working fine. Now rspec is freezing when it's going to perform a test using database.

I just freezes. I don't even know were to start looking because there's no error in the output.

Is there a verbose or debugging mode for rspec or someone ever faced this?

I've tried -b but it freezes before can give an error.

Output: (Rspec is configured with --format documentation)

[leandro@machine:~] rspecUser

Than, that's it. It hangs. I has to reset manually the computer twice.

This is the user_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'describe User do  let(:user) { User.create({    username: "teste",    email: "teste@teste.com",    name: "Teste",    phone: "123456789",    password: "123456",    notes: "Teste"    }) }  subject { user }  it "is invalid without a username" do    user.username = nil    is_expected.not_to be_valid  endend

And my spec_helper.rb

# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)require 'rspec/rails'Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }# Checks for pending migrations before tests are run.ActiveRecord::Migration.maintain_test_schema!RSpec.configure do |config|  config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false  config.order = "random"  config.color = true  config.tty = true  config.formatter = :documentation #:progress, :html, :textmate  config.expect_with :rspec do |c|    c.syntax = :expect  endend

SOLUTION

It turns out that delayed_job_active_record gem was causing the hanging.

I don't know why, but as @Greg Malcolm I looked into the log/teste.log and rspec was feeezing right after createing the delayed jobs database and setting up a new user.

I've restricted the gem just for development and production enviroment, and it worked!
