Error in spec_helper

After forking & cloning the repo and running bundle && rake as described in CONTRIBUTING.md I’m running into the following error:

/Users/clemens/projects/capybara-webkit/spec/spec_helper.rb:18:in `join': can't convert nil into String (TypeError)

It looks like spec_helper.rb also requires capybara’s spec_helper.rb which isn’t there. How can I resolve this?

Did you mean to file this for capybara-webkit? They have their own issue tracker.

What Jonas said.

For what it's worth, I have a hunch that you might need to run bundle exec rake instead of rake. Does that help?

[clemenshelm]

@jnicklas Yes, you are right. I had a tab of both projects open and confused it.

@joliss Thanks, that did the trick!
