I can’t take credit for this one; that goes to Ben Lindsey. But since the answer I needed was buried in a comment, I thought I’d give it a little more googleability.
RubyMine needs to load special test formatters for its built-in RSpec and Cucumber runners to work. You can easily configure it to talk to a Spork server when running tests, but you’ll get a LoadError (“no such file to load — teamcity/spec/runner/formatter/teamcity/formatter”) with a vanilla Spork setup because the server won’t be able to find the RubyMine formatter libraries.
The solution is to add the requisite paths in the Spork prefork block. Here’s mine:
Spork.prefork do if ENV["RUBYMINE_HOME"] $:.unshift(File.expand_path("rb/testing/patch/common", ENV["RUBYMINE_HOME"])) $:.unshift(File.expand_path("rb/testing/patch/bdd", ENV["RUBYMINE_HOME"])) end # ... end
I’ve put the above code in my spec_helper.rb as well as my Cucumber env.rb file. RUBYMINE_HOME
is an environment variable I’ve set in my .zshenv file.
Or you can go to tools -> Start Spork Server and it will take care of that for you.
Handy, thanks! However, I’m running Spork under Guard, so that doesn’t help me.
Hey, thanks for this note. I’d seen it where you saw it originally, however this is a little more clear seeing it extracted.
Curious on something. I’m quite new and I’d like to run guard-spork + guard-rspec. Right now I’m getting some strangeness when changing my routes.rb on a small sample project from railstutorial.org. It appears that when you change routes.rb in my current setup such that it should fail with 2 matches and 1 failure, it will say that there are no matches and thus no failures. Any ideas?
Still valid on RubyMine 5.4 for Guard users. Thanks for keeping the information available.
I couldn’t run or debug specs in RubyMine having guard running. It gives me the exactly same load error. Though it works when guard is turned off. I tryed to use your solution and specs began to run when guard is turned on. But then debugging a spec with Guard turned on ignores breakpoints in a spec. It runs fine but doesn’t stop at breakpoints. Is there any way to debug spec using breakpoints in RubyMine not turning Guard off?
