I'm in the same boat. Executing the following "bin/rspec spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb" Yeilds a truck load of Deprecation Warnings, examples and ultimately failures. With me not knowing jack about testing it's impossible for me to troubleshoot this. I'm using rspec-rails (2.99.0)

Any help much appreciated otherwise will just blindly follow along and ignore for now ^ - ^

A same boat here.

Most likely due to using Rail 5.0, and Ruby 2.3.

Here is the Fix;

Download the project files

Overwrite your project with these files.

In terminal enter:

$ gem install json

$ bundle update

$ bundle install

then run rspec to verify
