Courses Plus Student 8,105 PointsRails Console not fully loading
I know this course is a bit outdated but I've been doing well with it so far. Except it appears the Rails Console won't fully load for me. When I run Rails Console I get this:

Courses Plus Student 8,105 PointsIn another thread I posted on the subject... Andrew Gay (if you're a points collector then post something in an ANSWER below and I'd be glad to mark it as best answer Andrew) suggested putting
gem 'test-unit'
in the gem file. This did the trick so that the console at least loaded. Unfortunately I decided to abandon work on this course as I felt it was so outdated it was causing more harm then good. I was googling quite a bit for fixes and finding them but it was just taking all of my focus off the actual course content and learning experience.
I hope they update this course for others. I can't say that I didn't know what I was getting myself into as I did read some comments prior to starting... and I likely could have finished... but at the cost of what I felt best for my own learning.

Courses Plus Student 8,105 PointsI did install the version of Rails that they used in the video but yet the newest version of Ruby I believe. Wonder if that could be the conflict causing this? Or if I installed something in the wrong location. I don't think I did but I'm not 100% sure. Everything else seems to work but this. I've got pretty far into the tutorial so I assume rails is working to some extent...
Thanks for any help
