RSpec and Autotest issue in rails 3 project

Question

Im using autotest-notification v2.3.4 and rspec v2.0.1 for writing tests in my rails v3.2.3 project on my machine running Ubuntu 12.04.In my pages_controller_spec.rb i have the following code

require 'spec_helper'

describe PagesController do

   describe "GET 'contact'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'contact'
      response.should be_success
    end
  end

end

When i run the command rspec spec/ im getting the following error

Try updating RSpec. This: ruby-forum.com/topic/788351 (and the linked github issue) suggests there is an issue with older versions of RSpec, and Ruby 1.9.3.
