ruby on rails tutorial section 3.2 rspec testing error

Question

recently started the RoRTute by Michael Hartl, getting stuck trying my first rspec test in section 3.2, at this point the test is meant to fail but all i get are errors which I'm having a hard time interpreting. I've had a look around but not getting much luck finding a similar error and/or solution. I am brand new to programming and ruby/rails. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

terminal error output

Just visited the site to post a similar question. I am not using Michael's tutorial. I started getting the error when i added carrierwave gem. gist.github.com/vezu/6380850 — Benjamin

And it seems you are using old version of gem. Try gem 'selenium-webdriver', '~> 2.35.1' latest — hawk

Try bundle update or remove Gemfile.lock file and run bundle install again.

thank you, I have used this response. If anyone has time, could you explain why this worked? I ask because in the tutorial it often specifies specific versions of gems to use (not necessarily the latest) without any incident, yet here it caused this error.

It seems that version selenium 2.0.0 using rubyzip >= 0 which has bug in 1.0.0 github.com/rubyzip/rubyzip/issues/90 And selenium 2.35.1 using rubyzip < 1.0.0 I hope it makes sense for you.
