Suppression of deprecated warning: "RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example..." in the rspec test.

In the "Write Our First Tests" video, my environment of Treehouse VM on Windows 8 yields the warning message as shown in the title that is annoying. I added a line: "config.expose_current_running_example_as :example" in the first block of ...\spec\spec_helper.rb file, as instructed in the warning. Is this ok?

I think it needs to go inside the "RSpec.configure do |config|" so i put mine near the end but before the word end

Just to further clarify things for newbies like me. The actual path to the file would be ODOT/spec/spec_helper.rb and the config change that I added to get rid of the long warning messages was right after the 

RSpec.configure do |config|

I added 

config.expose_current_running_example_as :example

so the completed syntax looks like 

RSpec.configure do |config| config.expose_current_running_example_as :example

this is all on line #20 of the ODOT/spec/spec_helper.rb
