ZenTest errors preventing autotest from running


I've previously added ZenTest to my gemfile to get autotest to run. On this occasion I get the following error four times over:

saasbook@saasbook:~/Documents/github/LocalSupport$ bundle exec autotest
Invalid gemspec in [/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications/ZenTest-4.9.0.gemspec]: Illformed requirement ["< 2.1, >= 1.8"]

I've searched on this error and found a number of discussions in the github repo for ZenTest:

https://github.com/seattlerb/zentest/issues/29 https://github.com/seattlerb/zentest/issues/32 https://github.com/seattlerb/zentest/issues/33

I've followed some of the advice there, uninstalled and re-installing ZenTest, but no joy. I'm on ubuntu running ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [i686-linux]

My entire app is available here:

https://github.com/tansaku/LocalSupport

so for example you can check out my GemFile:

https://github.com/tansaku/LocalSupport/blob/master/Gemfile

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance


Solution

  • Just fixed this by editing

    /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications/ZenTest-4.9.0.gemspec

    so that the line specifying the rubygems version is now this:

     s.required_rubygems_version = Gem::Requirement.new("< 2.1") if s.respond_to? :required_rubygems_version=
    

    now everything runs fine ...
