rails 5.0 (upgrading from 4.2 to 5.0) ruby 2.6.4, rspec 3.6
I'm upgrading a rails app from rails 4.2 up to 5.2. Currently trying to get to 5.0. I'm fixing deprecations and tests, but currently stuck on this error when running my spec tests. Listing one spec here to save space, but they all fail with the same error (below).
I've read a ton of threads similar to this, but no real answers on how to fix it - or my issue.

The FactoryGirl deprecation is going to be upgraded to FactoryBot, I'm just not there yet.
In the above output, I see these errors/clues:
# ./spec/controllers/manage/course_reports_controller_spec.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
In that file line 1 is require 'spec_helper'
# ./spec/spec_helper.rb:8:in `<top (required)>'
In that file line 8 is: require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)

In that file line 8 is: StudentServices::Application.initialize!
Gemfile:

gem 'sass-rails'
...
Gemfile.lock:
...
sprockets (4.0.0)
sprockets-rails (3.2.1)
sass-rails (6.0.0)
...
I listed the sass-rails, cuz I saw a post on stackoverflow that mentioned this problem was resolved in sass-rails. rails 4 - rake command shows deprecation warning everytime I run the rake db:migrate command These gems are at their most current versions, but the problem still exists.
I did play with lowering sprockets down to 3.7.0, that gives me a different error but still involves sprockets:

In this output, there is a url to github that talks about this deprecation. I wasn't sure what how to apply that to my app to resolve this OR if that is even the problem.
I'm hoping someone may know more about what is causing this sprockets error and how to fix it.
I'm happy to edit this post and add more content if needed.
Thanks for looking at this.
