Rspec Load Error in Ruby - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am working through Hartl's Ruby on Rails tutorial and am trying to test for user signups with invalid information and am getting a "Load Error" when running rspec. I am unsure how to fix this error, as I have updated my gem files.
$ bundle exec rspec spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb \ > -e "signup with invalid information"
then I get this message:
/Users/kelvinyu/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247#railstutorial_rails_4_0/gems/rspec-core-2.13.1/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:819:in `load': cannot load such file -- /Users/kelvinyu/rails_projects/sample_app/signup with invalid information (LoadError)

Here is my spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:
require 'spec_helper'
describe "UserPages" do
subject { page }
describe "profile page" do
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
before { visit user_path(user) }
it { should have_content(user.name) }
it { should have_title(user.name) }
end
describe "signup page" do
before { visit signup_path }
# Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat methods/matchers
it { should have_content('Sign up') }
it { should have_title(full_title('Sign up')) }
end
describe "signup" do
before { visit signup_path }
let(:submit) { "Create my account" }
describe "with invalid information" do
it "should not create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.not_to change(User, :count)
end
end
describe "with valid information" do
before do
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"
fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar"
end
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
end
end
end
And my Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby '2.0.0'

gem 'sdoc', '0.3.20', require: false
end
group :production do
gem 'pg', '0.15.1'
gem 'rails_12factor', '0.0.2'
end
Am I missing any other information? What is the appropriate step to fix this error?
EDIT:
Spec helper here:
require 'spec_helper'
# Specs in this file have access to a helper object that includes
# the StaticPagesHelper. For example:
# describe StaticPagesHelper do
# describe "string concat" do
# it "concats two strings with spaces" do
# helper.concat_strings("this","that").should == "this that"
# end
# end
# end
#describe StaticPagesHelper do
# pending "add some examples to (or delete) #{__FILE__}"
#end
I notice that it is empty, however, the tutorial's steps did not require any changes.

Your error says the framework cannot load the file "/Users/kelvinyu/rails_projects/sample_app/signup with invalid information" which clearly isn't a file—the file is "spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb". Try having everything in one line—without the \ > (this slash angle bracket only means that there, maybe, was a line break when Michael Hartl was typing up the tutorial.
Also, look to using describe and context interchangeably. This would make you write clearer specs. There is no magic to it. The sourcecode for RSpec shows that context is just another name for describe. But when you write specs with both, the meanings are clearer.
