collectiveidea/json_spec — Issue #20: at "path" should include:  step not acting as I would expect

(apologies in advance for the steps, they need to be cleaned up a fair bit)

My scenario looks like this

Scenario Outline: GET to OR Packages for specific package uuid returns proper data
Given I create a request body from the following JSON data
"""
{
"package":
{
"name": "anothertestpackage",
"description": "This is a test, testing 4 5 6",
"package_type" : ,
"duration": 30,
"start_date": "2012-03-01T08:00:00Z"
}
}
"""
And I have the URI for a new: package made in: OR from the request body
When I make a: GET request to the URI for: my new package with no query string
#Then I get a response with proper test data in JSON
Then the JSON at "package" should include:
"""
{
"name": "anothertestpackage",
"description": "This is a test, testing 4 5 6",
"package_type" : ,
"duration": 30,
"start_date": "2012-03-01T08:00:00Z"
}
"""

Examples:
| package_type |
| "IMPRESSIONS" |
| "CLICKS" |
| "LEADS" |

And the contents of last_json are like this at the point the Then step is executed

{
"package": {
"status": "NEW",
"account": {
"resource_uri": "/api/v0001/accounts/fecdbb85a3584ca59820a321c3c2767d"
},
"name": "anothertestpackage",
"package_type": "IMPRESSIONS",
"margin_goal": "0.5000",
"duration": 30,
"resource_uri": "/api/v0001/packages/fecdbb85a3584ca59820a321c3c2767d/feea333776c9454c92edab8e73628cbd",
"start_date": "2012-03-01T08:00:00Z",
"description": "This is a test, testing 4 5 6"
}
}

I should think the step would pass, but I'm getting this error instead

Expected included JSON at path "package" (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
features\OR\API\OR_API_Packages.feature:70:in `Then the JSON at "package" should include:'

Is this user error? should I be using a different means to determine if the expected key:value pairs are present in the JSON returned by the API? I don't really see any examples of doing this kind of comparison in your feature files for the gem, so it is difficult to know if this is not what include was intended for.
