Here's a gist showing my attempt to use Coderay in rspec_api_documentation and my failing rspec spec where the scanners are not loaded: https://gist.github.com/2279150

And for something you can actually run, just clone my fork of rspec_api_documentation and run rake... you should get 5 errors, all with the same error:

 CodeRay::PluginHost::PluginNotFound:
   CodeRay::Scanners could not load plugin :json: /Users/readwl/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@rspecapidocumentation/gems/coderay-1.0.5/lib/coderay/scanners/json.rb not found

and you can see the file does exist

$ ls -la /Users/readwl/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@rspecapidocumentation/gems/coderay-1.0.5/lib/coderay/scanners/json.rb

I'd really like to get this resolved soon so I can move on with my changes to rspec_api_documentation and kick off a pull request there. Thanks!

I guess the original reason for the line was debugging. I'll merge it for 1.0.7 later.

1.0.7.rc1 fixes the CodeRay errors in the rspec_api_documentation tests on my system. Can you confirm?

Confirmed. Thanks for pulling this in.

Sorry, I just forgot to release it –_–' 1.0.7 will come in the next days, along with another fix.

It's released now :)
