Hartl Chapter 7 Issue: No DRb server is running

Question

Here's the code I get when I'm running the bundle exec rspec spec/.

I pretty much copy-pasted everything Hartl told me to do, but I can't even get a red test off of this. In my gemfile, I added the factory_girls_rails v. 4.2.1 gem, but I noticed there was already a default factory_girls gem 4.2.0 in there. Is that the conflict?

No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead ...

Answer 1

No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead this messages appears because Spork server is not running, check this thread its about the error you got when you try to run rspec spec , also check this screencast by Ryan Bates about spork
