Redis – Rspec command not found

What error I’m getting

  • zsh: command not found: rspec

What I’m trying to do:

  • Run $ rspec inside my rails app

What I’ve done so far

  1. Run $ bundle
  2. Run $ rails generate rspec:install
  3. Run $ gem install rspec
  4. Run $ sudo gem install rspec
  5. Run $ bundle update rspec-rails
  6. Run $ bundle binstubs rspec-core

My Gemfile

git_source(:github) { |repo| "https://github.com/#{repo}.git" }

ruby '2.7.4'

Below is the spec file I’m trying to execute using rspec
enter image description here

My setup

  • ruby 2.7.4p191
  • Rails 6.1.4

By the way I’m not having any problem running my spec using $ bundle exec rspec. I’m just curious how can I test my specs using the command $ rspec which most likely I will be using all throughout my career as a rails developer.

    If you are working with bundler, most of the time you’ll want to run gems under de bundled context; for rspec that is always true. You should either be using bundle exec (which you can alias to something shorter), or use the binstub with bin/rspec.

    If you add ./bin to your PATH environment variable, you can run binstubs without needing to prefix with bin/; so you could do just rspec to call the binstub.

    Prepending bundle exec tells the bundler to execute this command in context of the current bundle.

    Try doing the following steps:-

    gem install rubygems-bundler

    gem regenerate_binstubs

    Then try using rspec without bundle exec
