Hey Leonardo,

This looks like a bug in Rspec, although when I looked into it, it seems to have been fixed back in 2010

Very strange. Maybe it has resurfaced.

I will continue to look into it and get back to you

Do you have the latest versions of Rails, Ruby and Rspec?

No idea why it's not working then. I did this same course with similar versions and it worked fine.

Going to continue to look into it, but there's not a lot online on this issue.
