Hi Loi,

You should be fine. I would lock in the specified version of other gems Jason uses though. For example he uses rspec 2.x, and there is a few big changes in rspec 3.x.

Thanks for responding Seth! How would I lock it Seth? In the Gemfile? It's difficult to follow along with him because when he runs the test's I always get fails from rspec. The application still does what I command it to do, for example require description field and requires a title, but its annoying as heck seeing that all my tests fail... lol =)

Anyway, Just open up the gemfile and then require only version 2.x of rspec, correct?

Yes, you would lock it in your gemfile. For example 

gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.0'

Seth Reece so i can type in gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.0' just about anywhere in the gem file and it will work?
