_I am unsure how to set up spork with rails_helper and spec_helper. I am also using guard in my stack._
I have tried different combos, and I am still having difficulty installing it.
Railscasts and Tuts+ were no help ( this time )
anyone know of an easier way to set this up?

Spork.each_run do
# This code will be run each time you run your specs.
end
I have set this up again. and now it takes for ever for the load to happen. Its as if thet rails environment isn't even loaded.
Thoughts?
I was able to get guard and spork working with rspec3. Here are the files I used:
my_rails_project/.rspec (created by rails generate rspec:install):
--color
--require spec_helper
my_rails_project/spec/rails_helper.rb (created by rails generate rspec:install):
# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require 'spec_helper'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
# Add additional requires below this line. Rails is not loaded until this point!
# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc, in
# spec/support/ and its subdirectories. Files matching `spec/**/*_spec.rb` are
# run as spec files by default. This means that files in spec/support that end
# in _spec.rb will both be required and run as specs, causing the specs to be
# run twice. It is recommended that you do not name files matching this glob to
# end with _spec.rb. You can configure this pattern with the --pattern
# option on the command line or in ~/.rspec, .rspec or `.rspec-local`.
#
# The following line is provided for convenience purposes. It has the downside
#
# of increasing the boot-up time by auto-requiring all files in the support
# directory. Alternatively, in the individual `*_spec.rb` files, manually
# require only the support files necessary.
#
# Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }
# Checks for pending migrations before tests are run.
# If you are not using ActiveRecord, you can remove this line.
ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending!
RSpec.configure do |config|
# Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
# If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
# examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
# instead of true.
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
# RSpec Rails can automatically mix in different behaviours to your tests
# based on their file location, for example enabling you to call `get` and
# `post` in specs under `spec/controllers`.
#
# You can disable this behaviour by removing the line below, and instead
# explicitly tag your specs with their type, e.g.:
#
# RSpec.describe UsersController, :type => :controller do
# # ...
# end
#
# The different available types are documented in the features, such as in
# https://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs

my_rails_project/Guardfile:
source: Ruby on Rails Tutorial (Hartl) with changes made according to these posts:
1) Guard Rspec :cli option is deprecated, change to :cmd option
2) spork 0.9.2 and rspec 3.0.0 = uninitialized constant RSpec::Core::CommandLine (NameError)

Then in your files that contain the specs, e.g. my_rails_projects/spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb, use the following require:
require 'rails_helper'
Notice that rails_helper.rb has the line:
require 'rspec_helper.rb'
...so you get both files with require rails_helper.

As for the concerns mentioned in the second link that eliminating --drb in the Guardfile turns off spork:
Before doing $ bundle exec guard:
$ time bundle exec rspec spec/
No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead ...
