DRB errors running rake pre_commit

Testing RSpec
1

Hi list,

I checked out the rspec-dev repository on a MBP (Leopard) and tried to
run the pre_commit task after going through the setup/configuration
steps on http://wiki.github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/contribute.

I’m getting DRB errors related to script/spec_server when running
specs: Address already in use - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRINUSE). Running
lsof -i tcp:8989 shows:

ruby 9674 douglas 5u IPv4 0x6538a68 0t0 TCP
localhost:sunwebadmins (LISTEN)

I’ve tried changing the DRB port to 20111 and running rake pre_commit
again but the same problem comes up. Is this something people have
come across before?

I actually just noticed it a couple of days ago. I was able to resolve
it by building and installing the rspec gem, so there is an apparent
dependency on that being present. We’re going to be re-vamping (read
simplifying) the whole rspec-dev setup in the next month or so, so
I’m not going to try to fix this right now, but installing the gem
should solve it for you.

Cheers,
David
