[MacRuby-devel] Rspec Stopped Running Under Macruby

[Shannon Love]

I had previously had Rspec running under Macruby before I tried to use RVM to manage my ruby installs. Something went awry with RVM and I had to uninstall. After that Rspec stopped working under Macruby. I

I found that my RVM had installed Macruby 0.11 dev in or over my 0.10 install and that remained even after I had removed RVM so I used pkgutil to uninstall all Macruby, then I reinstalled the system ruby package and then reinstall Macruby 0.10

The system ruby 1.8.7 runs rspec installed with its gem command just fine. However, if I uninstall the system rspec and install with macgem, I get the following error trying to either execute a file with rspec calls or running rspec from the command line with or without any options or files.

<code>

The the actual error line is here and it appears to be part of the way that Rspec processes command line arguments:

<code>
module RSpec
  module Core
    class World

      module Describable
        PROC_HEX_NUMBER = /0x[0-9a-f]+@/
        PROJECT_DIR = File.expand_path('.')

        def description
           reject { |k, v| RSpec::Core::Configuration::CONDITIONAL_FILTERS[k] == v }.inspect.gsub(PROC_HEX_NUMBER, '').gsub(PROJECT_DIR, '.').gsub(' (lambda)','')
        end

        def empty_without_conditional_filters?
14 =>     reject { |k, v| RSpec::Core::Configuration::CONDITIONAL_FILTERS[k] == v }.empty?
        end

        def reject
          super rescue {}
        end

        def empty?
          super rescue false
        end
      end
</code>

I'm a ruby noob but I think it's trying to process a block returned by `super rescue` and it expects a collection but receives an enumerator instead. Why that is, I don't know.

Repeated macgem installs of the rspec gem do nothing to alter the issue.  I can't find any other references to similar problems. I assume that in my naivety with RVM and ruby in general, I wrecked something somewhere in the system that breaks rspec or macruby but I don't know how to fix it.
