I'm a high school student who is new to Ruby on Rails and trying to develop a Rails 4 application with TDD. I am using guard along with rspec, spork, and growl notifications, but when I run guard to run my tests, I get the following output and no results from the tests:
11 clairehuang:mezzo$ guard

If I only run rspec independently of guard, my tests run okay and display an output:
13 clairehuang:mezzo$ rspec

Deprecation Warnings:
RSpec::Core::Configuration#treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values= is deprecated, it is now set to true as default and setting it to false has no effect.
If you need more of the backtrace for any of these deprecations to
identify where to make the necessary changes, you can configure
`config.raise_errors_for_deprecations!`, and it will turn the
deprecation warnings into errors, giving you the full backtrace.

How can I get my tests to run with guard? Thank you very much in advance!
