Question

I’m trying to run a test suite using rspec with the command(s)

bundle exec rspec /spec/models/user_spec.rb

or

bundle exec rspec /spec/requests

Results in the following error messages:

/Users/ms/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:780:in `load': cannot load such file -- /spec/requests (LoadError)
from /Users/ms/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:780:in `block in load_spec_files'

from /Users/ms/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p286/gems/rspec-core-2.11.1/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:8:in `block in autorun'

I receive this error Even if i revert back to a default test file like:

require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
  pending "add some examples to (or delete) #{__FILE__}"
end

it seems like I’ve messed up the gem but I’m unsure how to fix it. Any ideas?

Remove the leading forward slash:

bundle exec rspec spec/models/user_spec.rb
