"autotest/rails [...] doesn't [...] exist. Aborting"

ruby, ruby-on-rails, tdd, testing, zentest

Solution

Downgraded ZenTest from 4.1.4 to 4.1.3 and autotest works again.

Problem

I'm finding that autotest has stopped working... ``` $ autotest loading autotest/rails Autotest style autotest/rails doesn't seem to exist. Aborting. ``` According to this blog post, the common reason for this error is that people don't have the autotest-rails gem installed. However, I definitely have that installed: ``` autotest-rails (4.1.0) ZenTest (4.1.4, 4.1.3, 4.1.1, 4.0.0, 3.11.1, 3.11.0, 3.10.0, 3.9.3, 3.9.2) ``` I haven't installed any new gems today or yesterday, though I might have done a `gem update` yesterday. Another issue I saw mentioned was incompatibility with Ruby 1.9, but I'm using MRI Ruby 1.8.6.
