I am trying to run pickle's specs and i am running into the following
problem.

Looksl like pickle is missing the environment file referenced from
spec_helper? Probably something silly I am doing.

thx

Hi Karl,

I can confirm your problem. If I have pickle just sitting somewhere in
the path, I have it too. Here is how to fix it:

Create an empty Rails project and clone the pickle repository into
vendor/plugins. This way pickle can find the environment it is looking
for. After installing some gems, which were additionally required,
this worked for me.

So, I guess, it's not you doing something silly, but rather
pickle... ;)

Great. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

It's a fair cop. I use garlic to run the pickle specs and features
across different versions of rails, but that's no excuse for 'rake
spec' not working in pickle root.

Expect this to change soon.In the meantime ive added some instructions
(thanks nruth) http://github.com/ianwhite/pickle/commit/3dbc458203158b61509186a5d7655578617e2e1e

Hi Ian,

Following the new steps in a freshly rvm'ed ruby 1.8.7, I can not get

activeresource (2.3.5)
activesupport (2.3.5)

capybara (0.3.5)
cucumber (0.6.2)

culerity (0.2.9)
diff-lcs (1.1.2)
ffi (0.6.2)

I get

Rcov is the missing peice. Do the specs run when you do 'rake spec'?

The error message mentioned above. To repeat:

(in /Users/stephan.hagemann/Documents/pickle_test_project/vendor/
plugins/pickle)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- spec/rake/verify_rcov
/Users/stephan.hagemann/Documents/pickle_test_project/vendor/plugins/
pickle/Rakefile:6
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

is the one I get when I run "rake spec"...

Hi Stephan,

I think that it's your version of rspec which looks quite old (0.5).
the current version is 1.3.

Could you try upgrading and seeing how that works.

If you don;t want to upgrade your system gems, you can install rspec
and rspec-rails as plugins in the test app, and the Rakefile should
pick them up (you need to run the rspec and cucumber generator files
if you do this)

Cheers,
Ian
