rspec spec invalid option: --default_path=spec

I'm getting a very strange error from rspec: 

$ rspec spec

invalid option: --default_path=spec

I'm in a rails 4, ruby 2 app and I've updated everything to rspec-rails 3.0.0.beta. I've dumped and re installed rspec, .rspec, and spec_helper.rb.

This is old but for whomever Googles this: in addition to checking your Gemfile, take a look at your repo's .rspec config file to see if there is an issue. If that doesn't fix it, check your environment to see if you have a global .rspec config file. Try cat ~/.rspec to see if you have one and if there are any issues with it. The global config caused issues for me.

You're probably using a different version of RSpec. The tests run fine from the balanced-ruby project. Make sure you have this line in the Gemfile:

gem "rspec", '~> 2.10'

Then run bundle install and finally try again with bundle exec rspec spec.
