Test fails when run together but passes alone

I am new to RSPEC and am testing the controllers. Sometimes it happens that the test passes alone like 

rspec spec/controllers/controller_name_spec.rb

it passes but when I run :-

rspec spec

the test fails, same test that passed earlier.

What can be the reason, is it related to scalability of rspec or an application specific issue. As I found same issue with integration tests also. Rails -v => 3.2.11 Ruby -v => 1.9.2p320 Rspec-rails version => 2.13.0 rspec version => 2.13.0

eg:-

Test case :-

it "should do ##something##" do
   plans=Plan.pluck(:id)
   plans.delete(@user.subscription.plan.id)
   @user.subscription.stripe_customer_token= "cus_1l9m6CicQEXZJ0"
   @user.save
   get 'apply_change_account', {:subscription=>{:plan_id=>plans.sample}}
   flash.now[:success].should_not be_nil
   response.should redirect_to dashboard_manage_accounts_path
 end

Response error message :-

1) DashboardController Dashboard should do ##something##
    Failure/Error: flash.now[:success].should_not be_nil
      expected: not nil
           got: nil
    # ./spec/controllers/dashboard_controller_spec.rb:119:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Thanks in advance

Try add flash.clear in before block for every test related to flash.

This may or may not solve the problem, but it's essential to test flash related item to avoid flash object been polluted.
