Error running rake task from IDE

Question

I am having a problem running the 'test' Rake task from IntelliJ Idea in Ruby On Rails application:

Error running test: File 'test/unit/autorunner.rb' wasnt found in $LOAD_PATH of Ruby SDK with interpreter: '{1}'

But the file is located at %RUBY_HOME%/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit and I have no problems when running other rake tasks.

Running MS Windows XP

Please advice.

In general you need to provide OS you are running, since RubyMine works on Linux, Mac and Windows. I am assuming it's Windows? Check RubyMine forums, but please provide more info. — Konstantin Gredeskoul, Mar 25 '11 at 20:11

I ran into this issue with 2.1.9 after upgrading RubyMine from 2017.2.1 to 2017.2.4. I was able to select the proper version by going into Preferences -> Languages & Frameworks -> Ruby SDK and Gems -> [my ruby version] -> scrolling down to test-unit -> and selecting the specific version and hitting [Apply].

(We don't have test-unit in our Gemfile otherwise and I was wary of applying a change to a project that was specifically for a single editor's use case.)

sorry for the answer I just noticed it's a 2 year old question ...

i hit a similar issue with the test runner in TeamCity - I'm really not sure as I do not use RubyMine but it might be the same issue (considering they use the same code base for their products) ...

it helper when I updated the test-unit gem from the built in 1.x version to an explicit 2.x :

group :test do
  gem 'test-unit', '2.1.2'
  ...
end

then bundle update as usual, hope it helps
