12,474 PointsHow do I get bin/autospec after typing in terminal?
When setting up my gems Jason told me to type in terminal "odot nicholaslee$ bin/rails generate rspec:install"
When I did this I only got back,
create .rspec create spec create spec/spec_helper.rb
I am missing bin/autospec. Do I need this?
Also, under my spec folder in spec_helper.rb I was missing require 'rspec/autorun' prior to the process I just mention.
Finally, when I typed in bundler prior to anything above I got the message "IMPORTANT! Nokogiri builds and uses a packaged version of libxml2.
If this is a concern for you and you want to use the system library instead, abort this installation process and reinstall nokogiri as follows: gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
If you are using Bundler, tell it to use the option:
bundle config build.nokogiri --use-system-libraries
bundle install"
Thank you.
