Research direction

Start by cloning the repository, running bundle install, then rake to reproduce the reported 106 failures. The issue gives no failing test names or expected behavior, so inspect the test output to locate the failures; done means resolving them and getting the test suite to pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

After cloning, just running bundle install then rake has lots of test failures:

Finished in 17.8 seconds (files took 0.66621 seconds to load)
183 examples, 106 failures

I'm looking into it and hope to put up a PR today.
