I'm trying to use Chronic inside my non-rails project. When I try to get the specs with 'spec' I get the following error:
$ spec spec/parsers/parser_english_spec.rb
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- chronic (LoadError)
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.1.12/bin/spec:4
from /usr/bin/spec:19:in `load'
If I run it by hand everything works:
$ ruby -rrubygems spec/parsers/parser_english_spec.rb
This is what I have in my spec_helper.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'spec'
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../lib/recurring_events"
Any ideas of what might be going wrong?
I've fixed it now, it turns out that the spec command was running the old stock version that comes with OS X so it couldn't find the gem.
