rspec isn't finding examples

I have an almost-new Rails 3.1.0 application, and rspec can't find my examples.

duncan@duncan-notebook:~/myapp$ bundle exec rspec
No examples found.

Finished in 0.00004 seconds
0 examples, 0 failures

My spec directory looks like this:

spec/
|-- controllers
|   `-- welcome_controller_spec.rb
|-- factories
|   `-- users.rb
|-- helpers
|   `-- welcome_helper_spec.rb
|-- models
|   `-- user_spec.rb
|-- spec_helper.rb
`-- views
    `-- welcome
        `-- index.html.haml_spec.rb

And there are definitely examples in there. E.g. welcome_controller_spec.rb contains the following:

require 'spec_helper'    
describe WelcomeController do    
  describe "GET 'index'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'index'
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
end

I'm running the following versions of rspec & related Gems:

Could someone please tell me how to convince rspec to find my examples? I suspect I'm missing something very simple here.

@calebB is correct for <= 2.6, but the 2.7 release won't require you to include the directory (it will default to spec).

I'm getting the same results with bundle exec rspec, maybe it was deprecated. Try this instead:

 rspec spec
