Trying to get rake sunspot:solr:run to execute

Question

I am trying to get the gems sunspot_rails and sunspot_solr up and running. I have all the most recent gems downloaded and implemented the patch suggestion from https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot/issues/160 but I am still getting the error shown below.

It seems that some of the files are copied but its getting hung up somewhere. Im on a Windows 7 system, 64-bit using rails version 3.2.6 and gem 'sunspot_rails' version 1.3.3 and gem 'sunspot_solr' version 1.3.3. I have spent hours trying to figure this out, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

$ rake sunspot:solr:run

java version "1.6.0_24"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode)

Answer 1

This problem occurs when there is space in your source path. Move your code to a path like "C:/WaterCooler" and try.
