Testing RSpec

Hi All,

This morning I did a “gem update” which installed “rspec-1.2.4” and when
I
run my cucumber “rake features” command I got the following:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:142:in activate': can't activate rspec (= 1.2.2, runtime), already activated rspec-1.2.4 (Gem::Exception) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in polyglot_original_require’

Then I run the “Gem clean” command which removed all old gems… and
when I
run my cucumber “rake features” command I got the following:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in

Any thoughts on fixing this as ‘gem install spec’ gives me : “ERROR:
could
not find gem spec locally or in a repository”,

Fixed :slight_smile: I should have looked in lighthouseapp for this ticket…!!
Thanks for the speedy reply.

Hi Chuck,

Release 0.3.0 does include the fix
“”"

begin
require ‘spec/runner/differs/default’ # RSpec >=1.2.4
rescue ::LoadError
require ‘spec/expectations/differs/default’ # RSpec <=1.2.3
end

“”"
described in
http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/commit/888b875bc17218fea77021edd059af7be538a93f,
which I updated this morning using “gem update”, I got the following
output:

Z:>gem update
Updating installed gems
Updating cucumber
Successfully installed cucumber-0.3.0
Updating hoe

Updating rubygems-update
Successfully installed rubygems-update-1.3.2
ERROR: While executing gem … (NameError)
undefined local variable or method `remote_gemspecs’ for

Not to sure about the error above but Cucumber runs successfully for
me…

Cool Cucumbers,
Andre

Do you include cucumber in your gem config? When I include config.gem
‘cucumber’ in my config/environments/test.rb file and run “rake gems
RAILS_ENV=test”, I receive the “can’t activate , already activated
cucumber-0.3.0” error. The following are the gem config entries in my
test.rb file.

config.gem “random_data”, :lib => false
config.gem “cucumber”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 3.0.0”
config.gem “rspec”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 1.2.4”
config.gem “rspec-rails”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 1.2.4”
config.gem “webrat”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 0.4.4”
config.gem “nokogiri”, :lib => false, :version => “>= 1.2.3”

Does anyone have any thoughts why this might be happening?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi,

I too am experiencing the “can’t activate , already activated
cucumber-0.3.0” error when running

rake spec
OR
rake gems:unpack:dependencies GEM=cucumber

Was the fix described by Aslak in the 0.3.0 release? What is the gem
source
that I should use to load aslakhellesoy-cucumber gem?

Thanks,
Chuck
