LoadError: cannot load such file

[jonmchan]

Hi all,

I'm not really sure if this is a proper issue, but after upgrading ruby in my rails project to 2.1.4, I no longer am able to run the project through rails s, rails c, or any rake tasks. Everything worked fine in 2.1.2.

Here's the error I keep getting:

$ rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
rake aborted!
LoadError: cannot load such file -- guard/guard
/Users/jonathan/code/sirius/config/application.rb:14:in `<top (required)>'
/Users/jonathan/code/sirius/Rakefile:4:in `<top (required)>'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- guard-spring
/Users/jonathan/code/sirius/config/application.rb:14:in `<top (required)>'
/Users/jonathan/code/sirius/Rakefile:4:in `<top (required)>'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I'm on OSX, ruby installed via rbenv. I'm running Gemfile.lock says guard is at 2.11.1. Any help on this issue appreciated.

1. Just remove guard-spring from your Gemfile and Guardfile.
2. Then upgrade guard-rspec (run bundle update guard-rspec)
3. Setup guard-rspec to use spring (see this: https://github.com/guard/guard-rspec#options)

Explanation:
guard-spring is not updated to work with newer versions of Guard, but it's not even necessary anymore, since guard-rspec supports spring.

Thanks! Everything works again after that.

thanks, it worked

[ElminDmitry]

don't works. i don't have guard-spring in Gemfile and Guardfile. steps 2, 3 don't help

[e2]

@ElminDmitry - your problem may be different. If you have "guard/guard" in the message, you may be using some outdated Guard plugin.

Try "bundle exec rake (...)" instead - it may help to find the cause.

If you can, open a new issue, paste your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock (or at least bundle show output).

Or, you can try running guard -d - any errors there may help as well.

Problem appears after adding and installing gem 'guard-spork' gem 'childprocess'

[e2]

Guard-spork is outdated as far as I remember, so remove it and/or use guard-zeus or spring.

Thanks for help

The one that was outdated for me was guard-resque.

I had a similar issue with a legacy codebase. Here are the versions that worked for me to overcome the missing guard/guard requirement.

group :development do
  gem 'guard-rails', '0.7.2', require: false
  gem 'guard-rspec', '3.1.0', require: false
  gem 'guard-rubocop', '1.2.0', require: false
  gem 'guard-spork', '2.1.0', require: false
end

Same here today. I had to pin rspec to ' ~> 3.4.0' to solve it, after bundle update gave me rspec 3.5 beta3.

I've just updated the guard gems versions, and it worked magic

[dennyluan]

anyone using guard-konacha, it seems to be no longer working for anyone also getting

LoadError: cannot load such file -- guard/guard

[scarver2]

@tastycakeman guard-konacha gem relies on Guard version 1. Change your gemfile to gem 'guard-konacha', github: 'lbeder/guard-konacha' which has an updated gemspec to support a newer version of Guard.
