Question

I'm trying to run the command 'bundle exec autotest' in Terminal. I can get RSpec working if I use 'bundle exec rspec spec/', but I can't get autotest (the first command) running. Unfortunately, I get the following error:

Trenton-Scotts-MacBook-Air:sample_app TTS$ bundle exec autotestloading autotest/rails_rspec2
/Users/TTS/Documents/Rails/sample_app/.autotest:1:in `require': no such file to load -- autotest/growl (LoadError)
    from /Users/TTS/Documents/Rails/sample_app/.autotest:1:in `<top (required)>'

    from /Users/TTS/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/bin/autotest:19:in `<main>'

I have two lines in .autotest in my Rails project folder:

require 'autotest/growl'
require 'autotest/fsevent'

I installed the gems for autotest-growl and autotest-fsevent. My Gemfile looks like this:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'

group :development do
  gem 'autotest'
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.4.1'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec', '2.4.0'
  gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
end

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Fixed it! The correct command is 'autotest', not 'bundle exec autotest'. 'rspec spec/' also works too.

OTHER TIPS

Trenton I solved that issue putting all gems executables under /bin with bundle install --binstubs and including growl on Gemfile. I don't know why autotest gem did not created any executable after execute gem install autotest. In which directory do you have that executable?
