rspec users - Jun 2012 - File not found

I''ve been trying to learn RSpec using the book The RSpec Book by David
Chelimsky but I''ve been having a problem in Chapter 5 around page 50. I
tried running "rspec spec/codebreaker/game_spec.rb --format doc" but
it
said that codebreaker could not be found.

The file spec/codebreaker/game_spec.rb requires spec/spec_helper and
spec_helper requires spec/codebreaker. In fact, the whole contents of
spec/spec_helper.rb is "require ''codebreaker''".
However,
spec/codebreaker is a directory not a file and I wonder if this is
causing the problem. It seems to me that "require
''codebreaker''" would
look for spec/codebreaker.rb, but I can''t find anywhere where the book
says to define a file called spec/codebreaker.rb.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Can "require
''codebreaker''"
make sense if codebreaker is a directory but there is no codebreaker.rb
file?

No. `require` is for requiring files. If Ruby cannot find the file, it will
raise an error.

Can you push your code to Github so we can take a look?
