Rspec won't run - Error: In `bin_path': can't find executable spec for rspec-2.0.0.beta.22 (Gem::Exception)

Question

When I run spec from the command prompt on my rails app.

$ spec spec

I get the following error:

/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:335:in `bin_path': can't find executable spec for rspec-2.0.0.beta.22 (Gem::Exception) from /usr/bin/spec:19

However when I run

$ rake spec

The tests run fine.

What's the issue?

Answer 1

The spec command was renamed to rspec in 2.0. You're still able to run it because the 1.x Gem is still on your system, it's just "hidden" by Bundler when you specify 2.x in your Gemfile.
