Why am I getting this minitest error even though I never use minitest?

When I run my specs I get this error, even though I never include minitest anywhere in my code:

Warning: you should require 'minitest/autorun' instead.
Warning: or add 'gem "minitest"' before 'require "minitest/autorun"'

This is with rails 4 master.

here's the top of my spec_helper.rb:

ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'

And here's the stack trace:

Warning: you should require 'minitest/autorun' instead.
Warning: or add 'gem "minitest"' before 'require "minitest/autorun"'

The latest version of Minitest (built into Ruby) has had some breaking changes in relation to RSpec.

There is a github issue related to this issue here

https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/pull/772

Adding the minitest gem to your Gemfile is a temporary work around.

Another option would be to point to the github master version of rspec-rails as I believe it has been fixed there.
