last step should be rake build

[pathsny]

not rake install

[radar]

There is no mention of rake install in the guide :( Could you please provide further context for this?

I'm so sorry I meant rake release.

running rake release gives me
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'release'

but running rake build gives me the gem in the pkg directory

[radar]

That's strange. What's your Rakefile look like?

[pathsny]

it was generated by bundler and I added a rspec task. This is it

require 'bundler'
require 'rspec'
require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
Bundler::GemHelper.install_tasks

RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new do |t|
t.rspec_opts = %w(-fs --color)
end
