Answer 1

Have you started the Solr server?

rake sunspot:solr:start

If not than start the solr server first

And If yes than try

rake sunspot:solr:run

Hope this will help .

@TiSer It looks like you may not have java installed. Try installing Java and see if that helps. – Dorrisdorry

Just configure the rake task with the test environment:

rake sunspot:solr:run RAILS_ENV=test
