cannot load such file -- shoulda/context (LoadError)

When I run the test "ruby -I test test/unit/user_friendship_test.rb

The command line errors out and at the type it says "cannot load such file--shoulda/context(load error)

I've looked through my gems and it says I'm using shoulda. I've also rewatched the videos. Not sure what I did wrong

Hey Kerel, Sorry for the trouble! Can you copy and paste your Gemfile? Maybe in to a gist at https://gist.github.com/?

Try running "bundle update" from your rails app directory and running the command again. Maybe the gem didn't install?

Ok, this is weird. Any chance that you have this up on GitHub or can send me a link to the repository? Or if not, can you zip up the rails app and email it over to jason@teamtreehouse.com?

Odd, this code worked fine for me. Maybe try taking the gem "shoulda-matchers" line out of your Gemfile, run "bundle" again and give it another try?

I removed shoulda matchers saved the gemfile and ran bundle again but shoulda-matchers is still showing up.

also after i updated the gem file and tried the test again I get the same errors.
