RSpec won't use syntax_suggest

[JunichiIto]

I wrote a sample RSpec code to test syntax_suggest and Ruby 3.2.0rc1: https://github.com/JunichiIto/syntax_suggest_sandbox

I have a wrong spec file:

https://github.com/JunichiIto/syntax_suggest_sandbox/blob/main/spec/sample_spec.rb

RSpec.describe 'sample' do
  exampledo
    expect(1 + 1).to eq 2
  end
end

I added gem "syntax_suggest" to Gemfile and --require syntax_suggest to .rspec according to README.

• https://github.com/JunichiIto/syntax_suggest_sandbox/blob/main/Gemfile
• https://github.com/JunichiIto/syntax_suggest_sandbox/blob/main/.rspec

I ran bundle exec rspec but RSpec won't use syntax_suggest:

$ bundle exec rspec                     

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

CLI command works fine:

$ syntax_suggest spec/sample_spec.rb 
--> /Users/jnito/dev/sandbox/syntax_suggest_sandbox/spec/sample_spec.rb

Unmatched `end', missing keyword (`do', `def`, `if`, etc.) ?

  1  RSpec.describe 'sample' do
> 2    exampledo
> 4    end
  5  end

How can I use syntax_suggest when I ran bundle exec rspec ?

[schneems]

The gem is included in Ruby 3.2.0 you don’t need to add it to your Gemfile.

can you check with Ruby 3.2.0 and see if it still fails?

[JunichiIto]

I removed "syntax_suggest" from Gemfile and ran against Ruby 3.2.0:
JunichiIto/syntax_suggest_sandbox@1a73457

But the result did not change:

$ ruby -v
ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) [arm64-darwin21]
$ bundle exec rspec

Thank you for the error report 🙏 I found the problem and possible solution. It's written here rspec/rspec-core#2990. TLDR is that rspec needs to re-raise the SyntaxError or the contents won't be written to the screen.

I'm out on vacation at the moment but I hope there is enough information for someone to pick up the work and move forward.
