`rspec --configure autotest` throws "uninitialized constant Class::FileUtils"

Question

I'm trying to setup autotest with RSpec. Never had a problem before, but when I run rspec --configure autotest, I get the following error/trace:

Autotest loads RSpec's Autotest subclass when there is a .rspec file in the project's root directory.

Simply running rspec runs just fine, and running autotest runs fine as well, but only loads Cucumber features. Also, require 'fileutils' returns true in irb. Any ideas?

I'm not sure why, and it seems like this can't be the correct solution, but deleting and recreating the .rspec file solved the problem.
