How to fix 'rake gems:refresh_specs' gems has no specificati

Hello,
I recently unpacked the latest rspec and rspec rails in my
applicaiton.
When I run my specs I get:

$ rcov user_spec.rb
config.gem: Unpacked gem CVS in vendor/gems has no specification file.
Run ‘rake gems:refresh_specs’ to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem CVS in vendor/gems not in a versioned
directory. Giving up.

How did you unpack them (what command did you use)?

When I run my specs I get:

$ rcov user_spec.rb

Where are you typing this command? What happens when you type “rake
spec” from the project root?

config.gem: Unpacked gem CVS in vendor/gems has no specification file.

This error suggests that you unpacked the gem using “gem unpack” instead
of “rake gems:unpack”.

Run ‘rake gems:refresh_specs’ to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem CVS in vendor/gems not in a versioned

And this one suggests that you may have put a CVS plugin directly in the
gems folder. Rails wants you to put plugins in vendor/plugins, and use
“rake gems:unpack” to install gems in vendor/gems.

/home/Amit/Myworkspace/MyApplication/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails.rb:3

What version of rails are you using? rspec_on_rails was replaced by
rspec-rails nearly two years ago, when rails was at 2.1.x. If you’re
using any version of rails later than 2.1, you should be using the
rspec-rails gem.

I just install rspec gem through the commands:
root# gem install rspec
root# gem install rcov

and

~/mygreatapp/ $ ./script/plugin install
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/tags/REL_X_Y_Z/vendor/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec

~/mygreatapp/ $ ./script/generate rspec

./script/generate rspec_model User

When I run my specs I get:

$ rcov user_spec.rb

I run that command in /spec/models directory

rspec_on_rails is 2 years old and works with 2 year old versions of
rails. Please do this:

delete all rspec plugins from vendor/plugins

configure the rspec-rails gem in config/environment.rb:

config.gem “rspec-rails”, :version => “>= 1.3.2”

rake gems:install

rake gems:unpack

The problem you’re having with CVS in vendor/gems is that you installed
it using some means other than what is recommended by Rails, which is to
use “rake gems:unpack”. Please remove that and any other gems that you
didn’t install with “rake gems:unpack” from your vendor/gems directory,
configure them config/environment.rb, and re-install them with “rake
gems:unpack”.

If you continue to have trouble with this, please consult the
ruby-on-rails documentation and/or mailing lists, as your issues are
gem/plugin installation issues, not RSpec issues.

HTH,
David

Hi ,

I configure the rspec-rails gem in config/environment.rb:

            config.gem "rspec-rails", :version => ">= 1.3.2"

Thanks
Amit

OK - so the problem now is that you’ve got rspec-rails 2.0.0.beta
installed and that satisfies the “>= 1.3.2” gem requirement, but it only
works with Rails 3. Try changing that to this:

config.gem “rspec-rails”, :version => “~> 1.3.2”

The “~>” matches any gem versions that begin with 1.3, so if you later
upgrade to 1.3.3 it will still work, but it won’t match 2.0.0.xxx.

Also, try running with the “rake spec” command before using rcov, which
adds complexity to the mix.
