[Bug] Running File specs types the wrong path in the command line, is there a way to change the path?

As above, so when it tries to run the spec file it can't find it.

Having the same issue. My project is organized like this:

my-dumb-project
├ frontend
└ backend <- Rails project lives here
  ├ spec
  | └ feature_spec.rb
  └ Gemfile

If I were to run a spec, this is what I would get:

my-dumb-project
❯ bundle exec rspec backend/spec/feature_spec.rb:42
Could not locate Gemfile or .bundle/ directory

But if I cd into my backend directory in that same terminal, this is what I would get:

my-dumb-project
❯ cd backend

my-dumb-project/backend
❯ bundle exec rspec backend/spec/jobs/feature_spec.rb:42

An error occurred while loading ./backend/spec/feature_spec.rb.
Failure/Error: __send__(method, file)

LoadError:
  cannot load such file -- /Users/foobar/projects/my-dumb-project/backend/backend/spec/feature_spec.rb

Interesting how it slaps on another backend to the path when I change it. The solution (albeit, not the greatest) is to open another VS Code on that backend directory as its root.

I found a solution. You need to open your backend folder as main in your Workspace - File -> Open folder. After that click File -> Add folder to Workspace and choose your my-dumb-project folder. Now you can run RSpec from opened file by pressing Ctrl+CMD+T or by right click on spec file from side panel.
