"No Gemfile found" error in Run configurations for IntelliJ + Ruby plugin

Question

I've tried to configure my IntelliJ 13.1.5 + Ruby 6.5.2 plugin to run RSpec tests.

When I go to Run -> Edit Configurations and check the checkbox "Run the script in context of the bundle (bundle exec)" in Bundler tab, I get error "Run configuration error: No Gemfile found". See attached screenshot.

My Gemfile is definitely present in the root of working directory. Look for ls -la output below:

Question: how can I fix that error "Run configuration error: No Gemfile found" ?

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue today and after many hours I was able to fix it.

The environment where this issue occurred was: Ubuntu 14.04.1, IntelliJ 13.1.5, Test::Unit Test runner UI attached for framework, RubyMine plugin 6.0.0.20140123, rbenv and Ruby 2.0.0-p594

To resolve this "Run Configuration error: No Gemfile found", I had to:

• Delete the Gemfile.lock located at the root of the project
• From the shell command line, navigate to the project root folder and run "bundle install" so that Bundler started fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/........
• Go back to Intellij and reselect an SDK for the project at File -> Project Structure
• Go to edit configuration, delete and recreated the rake configuration

I hope this would work for you... I also did other steps that I don't think they were necessary like restarting Intellij, reimporting the project, checking on and off the Test::Unit and the bundler option

Last, I want to share the steps that I had to do to reproduce this issue from scratch:

• Imported a ruby project into Intellij
• From the shell command, installed rbenv then installed ruby 2.0.0-p594
• From Intellij, navigated to File -> Project Structure -> Project and set the SDK to rbenv 2.0.0-p594
• From the shell command, installed bundler as follows: gem install bundler
• Then back to Intellij were I navigated again to File -> Project Structure -> Project and noticed that the SDK was set back to , I set the SDK back to rbenv 2.0.0-p594
• As soon as I hit ok, a popup showed up in IntellJ asking to install Ruby Plugin Gem Manager so I clicked on "install missing gem" link
• After the installation was over, I navigated to Edit Configuration, switched to Bundler tab and as soon as I selected Run the script in the context of Bundler check box, I got the "Run Configuration error: No Gemfile found"

So I think that installing bundler late in the project configuration process caused this issue to surface
