Editing Todo Lists

Hello, I am working through the build a simple todo app and have gotten stuck... I have been following everything exactly but now am having issues with capybara. When I previously ran bin/rspec /spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb my tests would run just fine. Now, after making the edit_spec.rb file, my tests no longer work. I am given the following error:

/home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/capybara-2.1.0/lib/capybara/dsl.rb:49:in <module:DSL>': uninitialized constant Capybara::DSL::Session (NameError) from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/capybara-2.1.0/lib/capybara/dsl.rb:4:in<module:Capybara>' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/capybara-2.1.0/lib/capybara/dsl.rb:3:in <top (required)>' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/capybara-2.1.0/lib/capybara/rspec.rb:2:in<top (required)>' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-rails-2.14.1/lib/rspec/rails/vendor/capybara.rb:2:in <top (required)>' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-rails-2.14.1/lib/rspec/rails.rb:17:in<top (required)>' from /home/treehouse/projects/odot/spec/spec_helper.rb:4:in <top (required)>' from /home/treehouse/projects/odot/spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:1:inrequire' from /home/treehouse/projects/odot/spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:1:in <top (required)>' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:896:inload' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:896:in block in load_spec_files' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:896:ineach' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:896:in load_spec_files' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/command_line.rb:22:inrun' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:80:in run' from /home/treehouse/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/rspec-core-2.14.7/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:17:inblock in autorun'

Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

I am using the treehouse VM on a mac.

Wow.. What a mess. I think I may have figured out the problem though... I realized that I installed rbenv on top of rvm so my path had both. I tried to get rid of rbenv and rvm and reinstall one or the other about a dozen times but that gave me a ton of grief. I ended up going with rvm since rbenv kept messing up my computer. I had to completely wipe all of my terminal's data with $ rm -i ~/.profile ~/.bash* Afterward I deleted any and all files related to rbenv and rvm. I then reinstalled rvm, updated Ruby and installed Rails. I haven't run into any problems yet so I am thinking I may have fixed the problem. I would hope that for future reference the Treehouse team adds a disclaimer in the video (setting up a rails environment) to not install rbenv if you have already installed rvm.
