Rspec 1.2.2 unpacking

Testing RSpec
1

Hello all,

I am trying to unpack rspec 1.2.2 and rspec-rails 1.2.2 into my
application.
I have them included in the test.rb environment file with config.gem
options
as described on the Rspec github site.

I can unpack rspec-rails without issue, but when I try to do rspec
nothing
happens. I mean that literally, it does nothing. No warnings, no
errors
and the gem is not in the vendor/gems folder. I tried running --trace
and
it was no help.

$ rake gems RAILS_ENV=test

  • [R] rspec >= 1.2.0
  • [F] rspec-rails >= 1.2.0
    • [R] rspec = 1.2.2
    • [I] rack >= 0.4.0
      $ sudo rake gems:unpack GEM=rspec RAILS_ENV=test --trace
      ** Invoke gems:unpack (first_time)
      ** Invoke gems:install (first_time)
      ** Invoke gems:base (first_time)
      ** Execute gems:base
      ** Invoke environment (first_time)
      ** Execute environment
      ** Execute gems:install
      ** Execute gems:unpack
      $ ls -l vendor/gems/
      total 0
      drwxr-xr-x 16 pallan admin 544 2 Apr 13:05 rspec-rails-1.2.2

Does anyone have any idea how to debug this?

You probably have an old version of lib/tasks/rspec.rake, which
requires ‘spec’ (the new one only does so when you try to run a spec
task). Try removing that first, then unpack, then “script/generate
rspec” to regenerate the new rake file.

Cheers,
David

Thanks for the advice. I had run the updated generator, but it must
have
been reverted at some point. I did it again and followed your
instructions,
but I am experiencing the same problem. I suspect that some of the
custom
code we have that is using rspec is getting in the way. If I can find
out
what it is I will let you know. Thanks!

OK - just a hint - look for any rake files or files that they require
that require ‘spec’ in them.
