Could not load 'guard/phpunit2' or' ' find class Guard::Phpunit2

I have just installed guard and phpunit2. When running "guard init" in my project folder, I get following error:

[canfiax:~/lesson] $ guard init

What is wrong?

@canfiax I'm having the same issue.. What a nuisance. You can try the instructions here: http://kentch84.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/osx-gem-guard-in-guard-phpunit-terminal-notification/

or abandon guard altogether and go with grunt: http://blog.elenakolevska.com/using-grunt-with-laravel-and-bootstrap/

I'm not a fan of grunt but we do use gulp in our project so that may be an option and would eliminate ruby/guard altogether. But I too was content with guard for phpunit when the original worked.

This is due to the deprecated Guard::Guard extension point was removed. #18 fixes this

To use the stable version of this plugin you should set your guard dependency to <2.9.0

thanks @slbmeh

Just went ahead and downgraded Guard. Here's my Gemfile in case others want to go ahead with this solution (you'll get a big deprecation warning but otherwise everything runs fine.)

source "https://rubygems.org"
ruby '1.9.3'

group :development do
  gem 'guard', '< 2.9.0'
  gem 'guard-phpunit2'
end
