What does this warning error mean?

RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup#example is deprecated and will be removed in RSpec 3. There are a few options for what you can use instead:

I have no failures in running the test, but this above comment seems rather ominous. It raises this depreciation warning twice. Happy to give more info if necessary. Thanks!

Hey Andrew Carr,

There is a previous thread on this forum that discusses exactly what you are trying to figure out.

It's almost as if you're saying I didn't search the Q&A forum's before I posted this question..

Was not meant to come off that way.

What I am really saying is that I don't have/know the exact answer to your question, but these people already discussed it so have a look there so I don't have to retype what they already said. lol
