Whenever I run autotest on a Rails 3 app (no custom tests yet) it

  • 0

Whenever I run autotest on a Rails 3 app (no custom tests yet) it hangs at loading autotest/rails_rspec2 and I’m still extremely new to Rails to know what to check/look for.
I’ve included my gemfile incase there is a known compatibility issue. Please let me know if you need anything else, thanks!

Edit
I am running on Ubuntu 10.10 in case it matters.

$ autotest
loading autotest/rails_rspec2

    It’s likely not hanging, but rather not finding anything to test. This is likely due to this post concerning changes to Rspec.

    See that blog post for the long term solution. The simple quick-fix is to do:

    autotest -s rspec2
