I\'ve tried a number of things like uninstalling/reinstalling rails and gems but to no avail.
When I go into my new project and run rails s or bundle exec rails serv
I was getting the same error. Removed spring from Gemfile and re-bundled. Not really a solution though.
I found the code that created this error in config/initializers/an_initializer.rb
config/initializers/an_initializer.rb
require "lib/a_file_i_need"
I changed it for
require "#{ Rails.root }/lib/a_file_i_need"
