* COMMENTS: Not sure why it is not loading. This is my first experience with rspec and running tests. I hope that I have provided enough information to troubleshoot. Everything else seems ok.

When I installed capybara there was a warning about capybara being deprecated and that it wasn't a problem now but could be in the future. rpec didn't print any message like that.

Thank you for any help in resolving this as I would like very much to complete this application today if possible. *

Is this on Github? If so can you paste the link? Easier for me to diagnose.

Same error with this guy, but his problem was loading from the root it looks like...

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/load-error-after-rspec-createspecrb

I've tried the suggestions in this thread. No luck.

I've tried updating the gem, downgrading the gem to 2.0.0

So this is strange.

i found that my create_spec.rb file was missing the .rb, but it's still broken.

Following the treehouse thread from before the current state of the todolist app is in branch rspec_bug

NEW ERROR list: Progress? We'll see.

So, this all works on my Mac. It must be an error with the windows installation. I would follow the error suggesting, like installing the missing gems:

gem install win32console'
add 'gem "minitest"'

If any other errors come up, you can add them to this thread.

I installed linux and worked everything on that OS, works there.
