Finally fixing the rake load error with rails 4.2 locally and with heroku

I have a rails 4.2.1 app which I test with rspec. And use travisCI for deployment and testing.

On travis the rake task used to give the basic 'no such file to load — rspec/core/rake_task'

To originally fix this issue I created a rake task in lib:

# lib\tasks\spec.rake
require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new
task :default => :spec


# require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
# RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec)
# task :default => :spec

# begin
#   require 'rspec/core/rake_task'
#   desc "Run all examples"
#   RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) do |t|
#     t.rspec_opts = %w[--color]
#     t.pattern = 'spec/*_spec.rb'
#   end
# rescue LoadError
# end

The two commented out versions are one which a friend used and then the heroku suggested rake task.

When I run rake locally my rspec tests run twice. I get twice the output.

Whenever I try and run a rake task on heroku I get a similar error:

LoadError: cannot load such file -- rspec/core/rake_task

Is there a full solution for this? I see a lot of 'install rake' answers.
