UPDATE 20180209: I created a new dummy app with what comes with the initial Rails 5.1.4 install (which includes minitest 5.11.3) and tests completed without issue. Going to continue to experiment with the gemfile to see if I can't narrow down what in the world may be causing this problem...
If you have any ideas or pointers, please let me know!
I recently started testing a new portion of my codebase and I've discovered a very critical issue. For whatever reason, every test is now throwing the titled error. Looking into the trace, it looks like for some reason the quoted name/title of my tests is causing a problem. Going back and running tests that I know were passing (though admittedly on earlier gem versions) unfortunately yields the same results, as shown below with the User model.
I've tried everything I know to do, including completely removing and reinstalling RVM, Rails, and Ruby. I've even tried versioning Minitest to an earlier build, like 10.5.3, but still no luck. I've spent most of the day trying to fix this; I'm at my wits end and desperately need help! Though I've learned the hard way that I now need to explicitly version protect ALL of my gems ;)
Thank you in advance! Please let me know if you need me to include any more files/snippets. I'll do my best to reply to any questions as my schedule allows, hopefully within 24 hours.

Got this sorted out by reverting to an earlier commit when things were working as expected, and pulled in needed updates through a $ git checkout <branch> <file1> <file2> approach.
If I had to guess I think the problem I was having may have had something to do with my intervening update to 2.5.0 through RVM, which introduced more headaches than it was worth (not Rails's fault, or even RVM's since 2.5.0 isn't yet officially supported by RVM).
