Too many warnings about 'circular require' when run rspec

Question

Hi I got lots of warning when run rspec which does annoying me too much,

How to fix it ? because I\'ve tried the Ruby version 2.1.2 under

Answer 1

I had same error and fixed it refs the page.

Guard with RSpec on Rails 4 giving a lot of warnings

the --warnings option in the .rspec file by default. Remove that line, and the warnings will go away.

Answer 2

These are warnings emitted by rspec because of a circular dependency. Likely this is a mix of require statements that are no longer correct. (I believe as of RSpec 3.0.)

If this is a Rails app:

1. If your project is so old that you don't have a rails_helper.rb, you should use the rails g rspec:install to set this up. rails_helper.rb requires spec_helper, and it contains things that are specific to Rails.
2. Make sure that your .rspec file includes --require 'rails_helper' and that it is checked in to source control.
3. Remove any require 'spec_helper' or require 'rails_helper' from the top of any spec files.

If this is not a Rails app:

1. Make sure that your .rspec file includes --require 'spec_helper' and that it is checked in to source control.
2. Remove any require 'spec_helper' from the top of any spec files.

This will ensure that the dependencies are only loaded once, regardless of whether you run rspec on a specific file or for all of them.

Answer 3

It's not a fix, but removing --warnings from your .rspec file makes the warnings "go away."

Basically, the --warnings flag puts ruby into verbose mode, which turns on alerts for a bunch of syntax issues that could potentially bite you later. Unfortunately, there's a lot of code out there (that you're probably using) that was never tested with warnings enabled. That means you're seeing a bunch of junk for code that isn't yours.

In this case, it looks like the sass gem has issues.
