RSpec install error: "Could not find autotest in any of your source paths"

Question

When I run:

rails generate rspec:install

I get this output:

   identical  .rspec
       exist  spec
   identical  spec/spec_helper.rb
Could not find "autotest" in any of your source paths. Your current source paths are: 
(..)/rails_projects/sample_app/lib/templates/rspec/install
(..)/rspec-rails-2.3.0/lib/generators/rspec/install/templates

I'm new to RSpec, Rails and Ruby. Any tips on how to make this work?

Answer 1

It's a bug. It can be circumvented:

"A quick solution for those with this problem is to make the missing directory in the gem. (i.e., mkdir rspec-rails-2.3.0/lib/generators/rspec/install/templates/autotest )"
