*****************************************************************
WARNING: You have passed symbols (#{symbols.inspect}) as metadata
arguments to a configuration option.

In RSpec 3, these symbols will be treated as metadata keys with
a value of `true`.  To get this behavior now (and prevent this
warning), you can set a configuration option:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values = true
end

Note that this config setting should go before your other config
settings so that they can use symbols as metadata.

*****************************************************************
DEPRECATION WARNING: you are using deprecated behaviour that will
be removed from RSpec 3.

You have passed symbols (#{symbols.inspect}) as additional
arguments for a doc string.

In RSpec 3, these symbols will be treated as metadata keys with
a value of `true`.  To get this behavior now (and prevent this
warning), you can set a configuration option:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values = true
end

Alternately, if your intention is to use the symbol as part of the
doc string (i.e. to specify a method name), you can change it to
a string such as "#method_name" to remove this warning.
