autotest failed with invalid gem spec

Question

I am trying to run autotest, at one point it was working for me and then it stop. I have been following the ruby on rails tutorial.

lexi87$ autotest
Invalid gemspec in [/Users/lexi87/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/specifications/ZenTest-4.8.4.gemspec]: Illformed requirement ["< 2.1, >= 1.8"]
Invalid gemspec in [/Users/lexi87/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/specifications/ZenTest-4.8.4.gemspec]: Illformed requirement ["< 2.1, >= 1.8"]
loading autotest/rspec2
/Users/lexi87/rails_projects/sample_app/.autotest:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- autotest/growl (LoadError)
    from /Users/lexi87/rails_projects/sample_app/.autotest:1:in `<top (required)>'
    from /Users/lexi87/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p374/gems/ZenTest-4.8.3/lib/autotest.rb:315:in `load'

So if someone can provide the proper steps with getting autotest to work that would be great! Thanks

See this question: Can't install ZenTest 4.8.4 Looks like there's a bug in ruby gems. Suggested solution is downgrading zentest to 4.8.3
