cannot load such file -- mocha/object (LoadError)

Question

When I run rspec to test, I got this error:

cannot load such file -- mocha/object (LoadError) The problem is with the line: config.mock_with :mocha below

Here is my spec_helper.rb:

require 'rubygems'
require 'spork'

Spork.prefork do
  # Loading more in this block will cause your tests to run faster. However, 
  # if you change any configuration or code from libraries loaded here, you'll
  # need to restart spork for it take effect.
  ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
  require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
  require 'rspec/rails'
  require 'rspec/autorun'
  require 'capybara/rails'
  require 'capybara/rspec'
  #require 'spork/ext/ruby-debug'
  # Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
  # in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
  Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }

  RSpec.configure do |config|
    # == Mock Framework
    #
    # If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
    #
    config.mock_with :mocha

    #config.mock_with MultiMock::Adapter.for(:rspec, :mocha) #, :rr, :not_a_mock, ::NewMockFramework::RSpecAdapter)

    # config.mock_with :flexmock
    # config.mock_with :rr
    #config.mock_with :rspec

    # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
    config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

    # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
    # examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
    # instead of true.
    config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

    # If true, the base class of anonymous controllers will be inferred
    # automatically. This will be the default behavior in future versions of
    # rspec-rails.
    config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false


  end

end

Spork.each_run do
  include Devise::TestHelpers


  require 'factory_girl_rails'


  # reload all the models
  Dir["#{Rails.root}/app/models/**/*.rb"].each do |model|
    load model
  end

  # reload all factories
  FactoryGirl.factories.clear
  Dir.glob("#{::Rails.root}/spec/factories/*.rb").each do |file|
    load "#{file}"
  end

  # reload routes
  Hope::Application.reload_routes!

end


RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.extend ControllerMacros, :type => :controller
end

So, what's I am missing here?

Answer 1

I have answered this more fully on the mocha issue that you raised, but essentially I think you either need to upgrade rspec(-rails) or downgrade mocha. The two versions you are using are not compatible with each other.

Answer 2

As it says here: https://github.com/freerange/mocha#bundler, you need to ensure that Mocha is not auto required, then explicitely require it in spec_helper.rb

So your Gemfile should have something like this:

gem "mocha", :require => false

And then your spec_helper.rb should have the following (after your other requires is fine):

require "mocha/setup"
