Can you post the whole backtrace? And what code causes this error?

The only instance of it I can see in the source is test/unit/testcase.rb
line 43, which looks like either you're trying to invoke a test which
doesn't exist, or you're invoking a test with invalid arity like

def test_foo(x)
...
end

But normally the framework would never try to invoke such a method
anyway, so it's strange.

You could try running with ruby -w, might give you some more clues.
