This is the error I am getting in using bundle exec rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb.

I have included gem test-unit.

Please help I am completely new to rails.

can you post the content of the failing spec you're running, along with your Gemfile? - matt
If you're running the tests with rspec, why are you also including test-unit (different testing framework)? Can you post your Gemfile and spec/spec_helper.rb? - sixty4bit

The simplest solution is to upgrade rspec-rails. For example you can use gem 'rspec-rails', '~>2.13' in your Gemfile and do bundle update rspec-rails from a terminal. It setups 2.99.x for you. This version is workable with at least ruby 2.3.4 and provides backward compatibility.
