undefined method `symbolize_keys' when using factory girl traits

I'm using ruby v1.9.3 and factory_girl v2.2 and trying to setup traits. But am getting this error when I try to use my trait. Is it because of the ruby version I am using?

 Failure/Error: let!(:notification) { create(:notification, :confirmable) }
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `symbolize_keys' for :confirmable:Symbol
 # ./spec/controllers/api/v1/sms_controller_spec.rb:13:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>

This is my factory:

FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :notification do
    smssid { Faker::Number.number(10) }
    msg    { Faker::Lorem.sentence(3) }
    to     { Faker::PhoneNumber.phone_number }

    trait :confirmable do
      confirmable  "true"
    end
  end
end

spec:

require 'spec_helper'

describe Api::V1::SmsController do

  let!(:user) { create(:user) }

  describe "GET /api/v1/user/sms" do

    let!(:notification) { FactoryGirl.create(:notification, :confirmable) }

    context "a user replies to a confirmation with c" do
      it "does something" do
        get :incomming_message, :sid => notification.smssid,
                                :to => notification.to,
                                :from => user.phone_number,
                                :body => "c",
                                :status => "recieved",
                                :format => :json
        notification.reload
        notification.confirmed.should eq(true)
      end
    end
  end
end

*** Edit, updated with my spec file

No, the version of Ruby you are using has nothing to do with symbolize_keys because it is not part of the the Ruby core. Neither 1.9.3 nor 2.2.2 contain it. Rather, symbolize_keys is an ActiveSupport extension to the Hash class. You must have Active support loaded to get this to work. See: Rails-4.2.5 : Object::HashWithIndifferentAccess < Hash.

Since this is a RoR question, which I missed (mea culpa), the problem evidently lies with the declaration of confirmable as a symbol rather than a hash. However, the version of Ruby in use has nothing to do with the problem in either case.
