rspec users - Apr 2012 - Strange error when running bundle exec rspec spec

Hi

I have been following the online rails tutorial written by Micheal
Hartl, can be found here:

http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/beginning#top

As I have been going through the chapters, at first the rspec tests were
running completely fine. One of the chapters suggests installing
blueprint stylesheet, which I did.

Somewhere after that, when I write rspec tests and run bundle exec rspec
spec, it all broke.

The followiung error is displaying in the stack trace, but I have no
idea why its pointing to the cucumber steps, and an undefined method
''When''.

Im completely lost with this. Any help very much appreciated.

I have installed the cucumber gem, and tried a few other things, but as
of now, I have no ability to run rspec. :(

Is the error below happening when you run the rake task or try to run
individual specs? e.g. when you run ''rake spec''? or when you
run ''spec
spec/controllers/some_controller_spec.rb''

And why is that path so odd? How did you get feature files INSIDE the
app/assets directory? I don''t think that is where they belong so I
would move them back to 
C:/Users/brad/rails_projects/hartl_tutorial/sample_app/features/...

Or delete them if you still have the original copies of them in the
normal place.

I ran into this today but I presume snomys got through it. For others 
whom may encounter:

Remove both the ''features'' and ''lib''
directories supplied with the
blueprint-css folder.

rm -r app/assets/stylesheets/*blueprint-css-*/{features,lib}/

Not a professional but I couldn''t see the use for either in this
portion
of the hierarchy.
