Noob who may be missing something obvious ... I'm trying to debug an Rspec file. The Rspec file is stripped down at this point:
require 'spec_helper'
describe PagesController do
render_views
describe "GET 'home'" do
describe "when not signed in" do
before(:each) do
get :home
end
it "should be successful" do
response.should be_success
end
it "should have a vendor section" do
response.should have_selector("h1", :content => "Vendor")
end
it "should have a hospital section" do
response.should have_selector("h1", :content => "Hospital")
end
end
end
I make the following call from the command line:
rdebug spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb
The debugger runs, but throws the following error:
> require 'spec_helper'
<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'

Uncaught exception: no such file to load -- spec_helper
Rspec without the debugger without a problem. I'm using Rspec 2.3.0, ruby-debug19 (0.11.6), Rails 3.0.3 and ruby 1.9.2. Why can't the debugger see the spec_helper file?
Make sure you've run
rails generate rspec:install
to create the spec_helper.rb file.
