Could not find generator rspec:install.

Question

I\'m trying to follow this tutorial here: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages#top

When I run:

$ rails generate rspec:install

Answer 1

Add gem 'rspec-rails' in Gemfile and save it. Run bundle command in Terminal. And in config/application.rb, add this line of configuration

config.generators do |g|
  g.test_framework   :rspec, :fixture => true, :views => false
  g.integration_tool :rspec, :fixture => true, :views => true
end

Answer 2

Make sure you install rspec-rails and not only rspec. Sigh, I lost some time.

Answer 3

Restart spring - sometimes it fails to reload after running bundle.

Answer 4

Add to your Gemfile:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails',      ">= 2.0.0.beta"
end

and run bundle install

That installed nokogiri and afterwards rails generate rspec:install ran as expected.

Answer 5

By default I had only 'rspec-rails' in my gemfile, and so bundler installed rspec-rails 1.x (some prehistoric version) for some reason. After I modified my gemfile to have gem 'rspec-rails', '~>3.0' and ran bundle update it ran fine.

Answer 6

I got this same error and found that i had forgotten to save the Gemfile changes I made in Sublime prior to running the Bundle install command. I saved and then reran the bundle install and was able to run the rails generate rspec:install command
