How do I configure Aptana 3 IDE to run rspec tests for my Rails project?

Question

I'm using Aptana Studio 3 on Mac High Sierra. I have imported my Rails 5 project and would like to debug some rspec tests in the IDE. On the command line, I normally run

bundle exec rspec /spec/path/test_spec.rb

but I would like to be able to set breakpoints and debug at a more granular level. I tried following the instructions for setting up rspec here -- Running rspec on Aptana 3 but when I open my Command menu and select the "rspec" option, most of the menu options are empty

Even when I further expand the menus, everything is disabled (empty) ...

What else do I need to do to configure my IDE to run rspec tests?
