Please post the entire spec in question, the command you are using to run it,
and all of the output you are seeing when  you try to run it.

Found out that I can get :its working in my general environment, so maybe I
am doing something wrong in this specific spec. I won''t post the  whole
spec
for now, as its massive. Instead I will try and narrow down the problem and
post back if I find anything. In the meantime, thanks for your help
