Hi, I’m watching Ben Orenstein’s Vim for Rails Developers series. There he shows how to use :Rake to run Rspec tests inside of Vim.
But when I use this command I get:
Warning: Running `gem pristine --all` to regenerate your installed gemspecs (and deleting then reinstalling your bundle if you use bundle --path) will improve the startup performance of Spring.
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'test:prepare'
I gues it has something to do with Rails 4.1 and running rake db:test:prepare automatically.
Is there a way to get :Rake to work in a Rails 4.1 project?
thanks for your help,
Anthony
It might be that your default task is not set to run spec? Can you post your Rakefile contents? :Rake works for me with the following Rakefile contents using Rails 4.1
require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
Rails.application.load_tasks
task(:default).clear
task :default => [:spec]

Hi Frank,
My Rakefile looks like this:
require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
Rails.application.load_tasks
I tried to get :Rake to work by adding
task(:default).clear
task :default => [:spec]
but that had no effect, if I type :Rake, I still get the same error message.
greetings,
Anthony
Refer to Update test requirements for 4.1 by JonRowe · Pull Request #946 · rspec/rspec-rails · GitHub. There was a fix for this in rspec-rails recently. Maybe you can try upgrading your gem to see if this solves the problem?
updated my rspec-rails gem, but it didn’t solve the problem.
When I run:
:Rake --trace
in the Vim cli I get:
|| Warning: Running `gem pristine --all` to regenerate your installed gemspecs (and deleting then reinstalling your bundle if you use bundle --path) will improve the startup performance of Spring.
