Rake, TestFirst, Error, Rspec Config Failed, Learn_Ruby - ruby

Question

I have done an extensive search within the Q&As and have yet to find a solution, I hope you can guys can help.
I am currently attempting the TestFirst (Learn_Ruby TestFirst) and can't even get pass the the first test for 00_hello. When I type in rake before creating the hello.rb as requested I get a long error message- not the one liner error message mentioned in the task.
Input rake

Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
I am expecting a short error when inputting rake without the corresponding hello.rb but definitely not such an extensive error. Nothing seems to be working and I feel I am at an impasse. Sorry for the long post just trying to cover my bases.
Here's the rakefile that was included in the learn_ruby directory (I tried adding require 'ruby gems' to it but that did not help either)
gem 'rspec', '~>2'
require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
task :default => :spec
desc "run tests for this lab"
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new do |task|
lab = Rake.application.original_dir
task.pattern = "#{lab}/*_spec.rb"
task.rspec_opts = [ "-I#{lab}", "-I#{lab}/solution", '-f documentation', '-r ./rspec_config']
task.verbose = false
end
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Uninstall all the rspec related gems, all versions, then reinstall the last 2.x version
gem install -v '< 3.0.0' rspec
Try rake again from the root directory.
