I can't execute rspec using 'bundle exec rspec'

Question

I'm very new to coding and I have been learning ruby through the app academy open bootcamp. I have gotten to the Rspec topic, but after installing the gems from the gem file provided in the course:

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "byebug"
gem "rspec", "~> 3.2.0"

The next step was to run Rspec using bundle exec rspec and I keep getting this error

from C:/Users/USER/Desktop/App Academy/rspec_demo/spec/add_spec.rb:1:in `require'
        from C:/Users/USER/Desktop/App Academy/rspec_demo/spec/add_spec.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'

I'm using windows 10 ruby version 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) rails version 6.1.4 gem version 3.2.22

I have tried uninstalling then reinstalling ruby on rails, and reinstalling the gem files. I have tried Googling the solution but I can not find a single solution for my specific problem. Any help will be appreciated!

Please post the entire error message. You skipped at least one crucial line at the top. — idmean

And please post the content of the App Academy/rspec_demo/spec/add_spec.rb:1 - especially the first line because that is where the exception is raised. — spickermann

Especially for someone new to coding - I would strongly advise learning (pure) Ruby before learning Rails. — DannyB

Don’t know if YMMV on windows but I think the things you’re missing are

$ bundle install

And

$ rspec init

Read up on those

Sorry for the late reply I have been so busy lately. I read up on $ bundle install and $ rspec like you said, and decided to run the whole process all over again from the start and it finally worked this time, thank you so much for the help
