I''m new to rspec. I just installed these:
rspec (0.7.4) RSpec-0.7.4 (r1201) (rspec gem)
rspec_on_rails .3 plugin (on vendor/plugin)
I''ve set up a simple spec - spec/library/test_spec.rb:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../spec_helper''
context "test context" do
setup do
#nothing
end
specify "nothing to specify" do
#nothing
end
end
When I run this spec as follows:
spec spec/library/test_spec.rb
(or any spec for that matter), I get the following error:
$> spec spec/library/test_spec.rb
./spec/library/../../vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/rspec_on_rails.rb:38:in
`run'': You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
(NoMethodError)
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.each from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.7.4/lib/spec/runner/context_runner.rb:23:in
`run''
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.7.4/lib/spec/runner/context_runner.rb:22:in
`run''
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.7.4/lib/spec/runner/command_line.rb:26:in
`run''
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-0.7.4/bin/spec:4
from /usr/local/bin/spec:18
I don''t have any idea what is causing this, or how to fix it. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I tried recreating this outside of the rails environment, so just a
spec file like this
test_spec.rb -
context "test context" do
setup do
#nothing
end
specify "nothing to specify" do
#nothing
end
end
and running that with spec it works fine.
Your rails plugin version should always match the gem version you have
installed, so it may be worth upgrading the plugin and see if that
fixes your problem?

Once I uninstalled rspec, removed the spec directory, cleared out plugins and generators under vendor, and obtained and carried out the following from Keith, it all worked:>$ sudo gem install rspec >(Should automatically upgrade to 0.7.4)>$ cd ${RAILS_APP} >$ ./script/plugin install --forcesvn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_0_7_4/vendor/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec>(I think you need the --force switch to overwrite the 0.7.2 plugin with 0.7.4)Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
