My rails app recently moved from Rails 3 to Rails 4 and I've been trying to run rspec on individual specs (controllers, models, etc.) and it seems to be having an issue actually locating the object. For example, when I try to run the following code it errors with an uninitialized constant error. This seems to be happening for multiple controllers. I've already tried deleting the rails_helper.rb and spec_helper.rb and running rails generate rspec:install but it doesn't seem to resolve the error. Why can't it find the controllers?
What I'm Trying to execute
-> rspec spec/controllers/activity_controller_spec.rb
/Users/osx_user/rails_projects/tealeaf_rails/ltbweb/spec/controllers/activity_controller_spec.rb:4:in `<top (required)>': uninitialized constant ActivitiesController (NameError)

I added
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
to the spec_helper.rb file and this resolved the error. I'm not sure why the spec_helper needs this, but I think it has something to do with Rails' ability to locate a file's path relative to another file, and I suspect this was messing up RSpec's ability to find the appropriate controllers, models, etc.
I did some research and found that previously we were on RSpec 2.14 and we're now on 3.2, and I think there may be some differences in the way rspec uses these two files. In our old spec_helper file we had this line:
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
I have added
--require rails_helper
in .rspec in my rails application, it resolves the error.
Ensure require 'rails_helper' is at the top of your spec.
It looks like you have upgraded rspec. That require line was moved from spec_helper to the new file rails_helper. You probably failed to change the line at the top of your spec file to include rails_helper instead of spec_helper. (note that rails_helper in turn includes spec_helper)
Could it simply be that you're referring to ActivitiesController and yet the controller is defined as ActivityController.
It says...
uninitialized constant ActivitiesController
and yet your spec file is called...
rspec spec/controllers/activity_controller_spec.rb
In my case, I have my controllers inside of 'api/v1/' so I had to define in the spec file something like:
describes Api::V1::ActivitiesController do
I hope this can help you ;)

I am trying to setup our Rails project to use rspec. But I am getting 'No examples found' when I run rspec. How can I get rspec to run the example(s)?

I've pushed the complete project code to https://github.com/marksack/rspec-test
EDIT: I did some debugging by stepping through the rspec core code. At some points in the code, I can that it has found the spec files. But it seems to break for some reason when it gets to the point of loading them - perhaps in the load_file_handling_errors method. The invocation of that method passes in the correct file and I don't see any exceptions though.
It seems that you have a cache configuration issue with stimulus_reflex gem when you run the rspec command:
Stimulus Reflex requires caching to be enabled. Caching allows the
session to be modified during ActionCable requests. To enable caching
in development, run:
rails dev:cache
If you know what you are doing and you want to start the application
anyway, you can create a StimulusReflex initializer with the command:
bundle exec rails generate stimulus_reflex:config
Then open your initializer at
<RAILS_ROOT>/config/initializers/stimulus_reflex.rb
and then add the following directive:
StimulusReflex.configure do |config|
config.on_failed_sanity_checks = :warn end
No examples found.
Try replacing this part of config/environments/test.rb:
config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
config.cache_store = :null_store
with:
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
config.cache_store = :memory_store
Then it should work as expected

I'm trying to run my tests in rails but whenever I do I get this error:

This makes no sense because it doubles the helper.rb at the end of the helper file. I noticed that in the error message it shows that my Users file is lowercase, but on my pc it's uppercase, I was wondering if this could possibly be part of the problem?
Also I can run my rails server n problem with everything working perfectly, so I'm certain that it has to be a problem with something in my tests and not my actual project files.

I don't have any helpers in my PostComments module and so therefore I haven't tested anything inside of the spec file.
When I do add the post_comments_helper.rb_helper.rb file I get this error message:
C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/activesupport-4.2.6/lib/active_support/inflector/methods.rb:261:in `const_get': uninitialized constant C (NameError)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It seems that there's a bug with Ruby 2.2. There's an issue on Rails' bug tracker that suggests that having an all downcase path will help. Either try moving the app from the desktop or try upgrading to Ruby 2.3.
I ended up just downgrading Ruby back to 2.4 and it seemed to work.
I am just starting a project in RubyMine and am having trouble configuring RSpec. The problem is that it does not seem to be 'seeing' my tests, 0 files were loaded..
I am expecting the test to fail, I am just unsure as to why it is not running in the first place.
All the relevant gems have been installed and bundled correctly so far as I can tell and they are all included in the development section of my Gemfile.
The output from running RSpec, followed by my files:

Looks like RubyMine is running RSpec in the spec directory. By default, RSpec looks in a subdirectory, named spec, of the directory it's run in. RubyMine seems to be misconfigured. Either something is wrong with that particular run/debug configuration or the RubyMine project thinks that the spec directory (rather than the directory above it) is the project root.
You can confirm that RSpec itself is OK on the command line by cding to the root of your project and running bin/rspec.
I fixed mine:
Step 1 : In the RubyMine menu bar click on "Run".
Step 2 : Select "edit configurations".
Step 3 : Add a new configuration by clicking [+].
Step 4 : Verify the Feature folder and add the folder path up to features. For example; C:\Ruby_Projects\project\features.
Step 5 : Also change working directory.
For me, even though the option disappeared for the root of my project, I could still right click on a sub folder, and choose Run all specs in... to run all specs.
This line is likely causing the problem:
describe do
Change to describe 'whatever' do and it may work.
RubyMine apparently traps over describe or context calls without description.
