Error Running Standalone/Command Line rspec: undefined method Pathname

Testing RSpec
1

Hello,

I’ve written the following simple rspec test that I’m trying to run
(rspec 1.2.9) standalone (outside Rails) from the command line and
getting the following error. Any idea for how to fix this? Thanks.

$> spec foo_rspec.rb

/Users/athem/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/rspec-1.2.9/lib/spec/runner/options.rb:
108:in determine_project_root': undefined methodPathname’ for
#Spec::Runner::Options:0x14dc1e4 (NoMethodError).

foo_rspec.rb file:

require ‘spec_helper’

class Foo
end

describe “A Foo that says boo” do
before(:each) do
@foo = Foo.new
end

it “should say boo” do
@foo.should say_boo
end
end

There is a require ‘pathname’ statement in the method in options.rb
that calls determine_project_root. Please try adding that to the
beginning of your spec file and see if it works. If so, we’ll need to
investigate more to find out why it doesn’t work for you as/is when it
works for everyone else.

HTH,
David
