Hello, I am trying to run my tests using rake, but I keep getting this  
error. Anyone know why that might be happening?

I’m using backgroundrb, but I have removed all of my tests except for  
one as I am rewriting them to make them even more thorough. The test  
that I am trying to run does not use backgroundrb.
