Unitialized constant RSpec (NameError)

I was following the instructions on creating tests for my model when suddenly, the Rails app just broke with the error above. Need help!

Did you run rails generate rspec:install?

Seth Reece, yes I did!

I think the problem stems from trying to fix a deprecation.

I added: RSpec.configure do |c| c.expose_current_running_example_as :example end

in application.rb

That goes in spec helper, not application.rb. Should be just the one line since it already has the rspec configure block.

Yep! Thanks for the answer! I was eventually able to figure it out after I typed what I said (didn't make sense to put it in application.rb) haha
