Tests are running on my Ubuntu pc, but not on my Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, Ruby 1.9.3, Rails 3.2.1

Question

I have project in Dropbox and two running laptops: one with Ubuntu and one with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to run either rspec or cucumber on ubuntu they are running well, but when I try to run tests on Mac I have the same errors in config/application.rb:13: Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)))

For cucumber:

Using the default profile...

How can I fix it? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

The problem was in two gems in my Gemfile :

gem 'rb-inotify', '0.8.8'
gem 'libnotify', '0.5.9'

These gems are compatible only with Ubuntu as I understand.

UPD:

You should OS-specific gems to groups. Add all OS X specific gems to a darwin group in the Gemfile, and all Linux specific gems to a linux group:

# Gemfile
group :darwin do
  gem 'rb-fsevent'
  gem 'growl'
end

group :linux do
  gem 'rb-inotify'
end

To require the appropriate gems in the right environment, add the following to config/application.rb :

platform = RUBY_PLATFORM.match(/(linux|darwin)/)[0].to_sym
Bundler.require(platform)

See https://github.com/bbatsov/rails-style-guide#bundler for more info about bundler here.

Answer 2

There was a problem with my gem .

update the bundler

Read the error properly, it will tell you which gem is the culprit.

Thing is that not all gems are compatible with OS .
