Syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')' - Rails 2.1.0

Question

Getting a syntax error when running rake tasks:

 bundle exec rake test:read_message

 ruby -v 
 2.1.0

/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/spring-1.7.1/lib/spring/client/run.rb:76: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')' (SyntaxError)
..._env, env.server_command, out: File::NULL)

 /usr/lib/ruby-flo/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/spring-1.7.1/lib/spring/client/run.rb:76: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting kEND
from /usr/lib/ruby-flo/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/spring-1.7.1/lib/spring/client.rb:5

from /usr/lib/ruby-flo/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/spring-1.7.1/bin/spring:48

Is it only rake tasks, or do you get the error when interacting with the code in other ways, such as `irb` or `rails console` or `rails server` or `bundle install`? — Michael Gaskill, May 15 '16 at 21:18
@MichaelGaskill bundle install works fine, getting this issue in running rake tasks. — Bahubali, May 16 '16 at 06:53

When I disabled spring, was able to run the rake tasks.

DISABLE_SPRING=1 bundle exec rake test:read_message

But not sure what is the root cause of issue, it works fine in my local without disabling the spring but not in prod.
