Getting warnings when running test.

I am getting this when I run the first test.

Take a look at this - should help:

https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda-matchers/issues/408

Found it by copy/pasting your error code into google, preceded by 'rails'. Post back here if you solve it or if you get really stuck.

Are you running this in Treehouse workspaces or on your own setup?

That did fix the issue with the test and the errors are now gone. thank you.

You should also add

gem minitest before the gem shoulda-matchers

group :test do gem 'capybara', '~> 2.1.0' gem 'minitest', '~> 5.6.1' gem 'shoulda-matchers', '~> 2.4.0'

A quick fix seems to be replacing the require 'minitest/unit' with require 'minitest' in lib/shoulda/matchers/assertion_error.rb since minitest/autorun includes a whole lot of other stuff.

I am running my own setup since I will be developing a targeted social networks site here in the near future.
