Hello Iam trying to run a simple ruby test using Rspec and Bundler. When I run $bundle exec rspec example_spec.rb from the command line I get a no method error pointing me towards my spec_helper.rb file. I have both Rspec version 2.99 and 3.2.3 installed although the computer is telling me it is using version 2.99. How can I get my system to use version 3.2.3 instead . pasted error message Iam encountering. Thank you so much.

Make sure your gem file specifies `gem ‘rspec’, ‘~> 3.2.0’` and then run bundle update. This will make sure your bundle is running the latest version of RSpec.

try running

$ bundle update rspec

that should update the rspec version in your bundled gems.

Sounds like you have a dependency that requires an older version of RSpec… (e.g. a lower pinned version of rspec-rails or a gem that expands rspec)

I ran bundle update respect and it still shows that it using spec 2.99.

after I ran the update I ran the code again and I received the same error message. Is there something I should edit in my spec helper file perhaps.

Like I said, you have something holding back the dependency on rspec, can you upload your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock?

just to so im clear both the gemfile and gemfile.lock should be in the projects root directory correct? as opposed to as in the directory where the specification is located ?

If you attach your Gemfile / .lock file we can help you upgrade your dependency

There’s clearly something wrong there as your Gemfile.lock doesn’t align with your Gemfile. Delete the .lock file and run bundle install.

Are you running bundle install from the directory in which the Gemfile with `gem ‘rspec’, ‘~> 3.2.3’` is? Because if so you should probably open an issue with the bundler team because that shouldn’t be possible.

Talk to the bundler team, because a gemfile with what you pasted in should not result in that gemfile.lock, either you’re not pasting your entire file or something is wrong with your bundle

As Jon said, the bundler team is probably going to be the best source of information about this. Still, if you're able to push a repro case to github and point us at it, I'll be glad to try out your repo locally to see if I can reproduce and advise.
