The file you are working on in that screenshot is 'Gemfile.txt' - that's wrong, the file should simply be called 'Gemfile' with no file extension. Look at all the files in your project's root directory (try the command 'ls -a' to list all files including hidden ones) and see if there is another Gemfile in there somewhere.

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsWhat you've posted there looks OK as far as I can tell....are you posting all of that on one line, or like this:
group :development do
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.0'
end
I'm not sure if it should matter but might be worth trying.
Also ensure that you have colons before all group names but not after "group" - I notice you have typed it slightly different in your error message compared to in your code.

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsCool, so the one you need to make your changes in is the one that's just called Gemfile. If that works for you please remember to mark my answer as the correct one :)

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsNo problem - in future try and remember to use comments on existing answers, all your comments so far have actually been new answers themselves :)

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 3,932 PointsYes I will. Thanks
I know where was the problem now. Notepad has a .text save option as a default and when I saved my project it saved as .text file.
