Error: Guard will not detect changes to your Gemfile!

[Alien-97]

I am trying to use Guard as a help for make Test Driven Development using Vim in Linux Shell. For add Guard dependecy, i added this to my .gemspec file:

spec.add_development_dependency "guard"

spec.add_development_dependency "guard-rspec"

spec.add_development_dependency "guard-bundler"

Then, in Command Line, i executed this:

sudo bin/setup

bundle exec guard init

Then for update Bundle gems and dependencies, i updated Bundle for take in count Guard files:

sudo bundle install

When i tried to use Guard with bundle exec guard, i got this error:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/did_you_mean/version.rb:2: warning: already initialized constant DidYouMean::VERSION
/var/lib/gems/2.6.0/gems/did_you_mean-1.3.1/lib/did_you_mean/version.rb:2: warning: previous definition of VERSION was here
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/did_you_mean/jaro_winkler.rb:63: warning: already initialized constant DidYouMean::JaroWinkler::WEIGHT
/var/lib/gems/2.6.0/gems/did_you_mean-1.3.1/lib/did_you_mean/jaro_winkler.rb:63: warning: previous definition of WEIGHT was here

And for Guard output this warning:

 Error: Guard will not detect changes to your Gemfile!
> [#] 
> [#]   Solution: move the Gemfile to a watched directory and symlink it back.

I am searching a solution for this problem in guard public repository in Github, but until now i was unable to fix it.

Version of Ruby i am using : ruby 2.6.5

Version of guard: 2.16.1

Bundler version : 2.0.2

Here you can see Gemfile,Guardfile and gemspec

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It happens when Guard::Compat.watched_directories doesn't include the directory that includes the Gemfile. Can you try printing Guard::Compat.watched_directories in your Guardfile?

[Alien-97]

Hello @rymai , thanks for the answer, i executed the Guard::Compat.watched_directories, this is the output:

[#<Pathname:/home/user/test7/gemtest>]

[rymai]

@Alien-97 Thanks, does your Gemfile is located at /home/user/test7/gemtest/Gemfile or elsewhere?

[Alien-97]

@rymai Yes, it is located at gemtest directory.

[Alien-97]

Hello @rymai , Do you figure out what is the error?

Thanks

@Alien-97 I've cloned your project locally but I don't manage to install your dependencies as there's no huella_nutricional/version.rb file:

› bundle install

[!] There was an error parsing `Gemfile`: 
[!] There was an error while loading `huella_nutricional.gemspec`: cannot load such file -- huella_nutricional/version
Does it try to require a relative path? That's been removed in Ruby 1.9. Bundler cannot continue.

 #  $LOAD_PATH.unshift(lib) unless $LOAD_PATH.include?(lib)

@rymai , i give you access to this repo, there i commited all my gem files, for you can see better code structure and it's setup

@Alien-97 Thanks, I cloned your project, then ran bundle install, then bundle exec guard, and I got no error message. Also, if I modify the Gemfile, Guard says 10:03:27 - INFO - Bundle already up-to-date which means that the change detection was successful.

[Alien-97]

@rymai ok, thanks, so i think that maybe there is something wrong with my gem versions or Ruby versions in my laptop.

[Alien-97]

@rymai What version of Ruby do you use?

[rymai]

› ruby -v
ruby 2.6.5p114 (2019-10-01 revision 67812) [x86_64-darwin19]

[Alien-97]

I have the same version
