rspec triggers "DEPRECATION WARNING: The InstanceMethods module inside ActiveSupport::Concern will be no longer included automatically."

Question

I followed the tutorial at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html with scaffolding and added rspec. I didn't add any special code so far.

When doing...

rake spec

... I get around 20 of the following warnings:

DEPRECATION WARNING: The InstanceMethods module inside ActiveSupport::Concern will be no longer included automatically. Please define instance methods directly in RSpec::Rails::ViewExampleGroup instead. (called from at /Users/pixtur/Projects/website-com/spec/views/welcome/index.html.haml_spec.rb:3)

I don't understand, what this error is trying to tell me. index.html.haml_spec.rb was created by scaffolding and looks like this:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "welcome/index.html.haml" do
  pending "add some examples to (or delete) #{__FILE__}"
end

I'm using rails 3.2.3 / ruby 1.9.2
