Command not found/Install missing gem binaries with 'bundle install' using autotest

aspire picture aspire · May 15, 2011 · Viewed 27.2k times · Source

I am totally new to RoR. I am following Michael Hartl's book. I am not able to make autotest run. Please suggest what's going wrong and a solution to fix it.

When I run 'autotest' at command line inside Rails project directory i get following:

-bash: autotest: command not found

When I run 'bundle exec autotest' I get following:

 bundler: command not found: autotest
 Install missing gem binaries with `bundle install'

Here is the Gemfile

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'

group :development do
gem 'autotest'
gem 'rspec-rails', '2.4.1' 
end

group :test do
gem 'rspec', '2.4.0'
gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
end

bundle install --binstubs will install all the executables from your bundle into a local bin directory in your project (see http://gembundler.com/), then you could run ./bin/autotest.
