I get that error (above) when I try to run my rails console, or really do anything. I am assuming some of my gems are not compatible with each other? I am updating from rails 3.1 to rails 3.2.

I recently did a bundle update. This what everything was updated to:

    By the backtrace, it looks like line 1 of /Users/jeffreyerickatz/Desktop/sites/demo_app/spec/factories/user.rb is trying to load spec_helper.rb – you can safely remove this line, only specs should be requiring spec_helper.
