    I fixed this for myself with the following changes to rspactor_formatter.rb...

    from line:86

        if example.respond_to?(:backtrace)
      dummy = example.location.split("\n")
      return dummy

    It seems like the @implementation variable no longer exists on the example object. Or rather, example is actually an example_proxy, which doesn't have the @implementation instance variable.

    However, if all we're trying to do is get at the backtrace... then the .location method seems to be the right way to go.

    Actually, I guess technically it should be this:

    if example.respond_to?(:location)
  dummy = example.location.split("\n")
  return dummy
