Guys,
Not sure why but I deleted my Gemfile.lock file. Found that it's due to
a stale Gemfile.lock file which is still using rspec-core 2.8.0 when in
fact I just performed and update yesterday night on rspec (hence I've got
rspec-core 2.9.0).
Ran "rspec parts_controller.spec.rb" again and all tests are passing.
Could it really be the stale Gemfile.lock file? hmmm
