guard init can not find such file error

Question

I have installed guard jasmine-headless webkit but it is causing an error. From the output I think it's the only one.

Does anyone know how to fix this, so it can find the file.

This is the output:

Edit:

If I do find /Users/redres/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484 | grep Guardfile I get lots of hits

The .rvm/gems folder also contains these folders twice ruby-1.9.3-p484@global and ruby-1.9.3-p484. If I list the ruby versions, I get current, default and current && default.

I try'd sudo chmod 777 -R /Users/redres/.rvm, but then I get chmod: -R: No such file or directory

The `-R: No such file or directory` means that `-R` is not a file or directory. It seems that the options must go before the new mode or file. So `sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/redres/.rvm` is what you was trying to do. So, if there is a lot of `Guardfiles`, is there one that have the exact same path that the error is giving to you? If there is no Guardfile in that exact path, no point in changing permissions. — fotanus, Apr 17 '14 at 20:18

The error says that the file /Users/redres/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484/gems/guard-jasmine-headless-webkit-0.3.2/lib/guard/jasmineheadlesswebkit/templates/Guardfile don't exists. Does it?

If yes, should be a permission problem.

If not, where the Guardfile should actually be? If you can't guess, try to run find /Users/redres/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p484 | grep Guardfile for a full list of where it can currently exists. Chances are that you are using the wrong gemset/ruby version.

my guard is looking in the same path as you have here, but the actual path I have is `[..]/guard/jasmine-headless-webkit/templates/Guardfile`. – Larry Apr 19 '14 at 23:37
