You can mark code with 4 spaces in front of each line. (I already did it) — knut, Mar 10 '15 at 22:29

I think your machine has multiple spring gem version. I would like to remove spring 1.3.3.

$ gem uninstall spring

It shows all spring gems on your machine

uninstall spring version like shown on this attached image

I had similar issue, it solved the issue

change in your application Gemfile

gem 'spring'

to

gem 'spring', "~>1.3.3"

and

bundle install
bundle update

it work for me!

did you try prepending bundle exec to your command as it suggest?

bundle exec rails console

I'm having the same issue, and prepending `bundle exec` doesn't fix the problem. – Hayden Ball Mar 16 '15 at 12:56
