Invalid domain: ".example.com" in rspec after changing session_store to domain: :all

I changed the session store from

config.session_store :cookie_store, :key => "_mysite_session2"

to

config.session_store :cookie_store, :key => "_mysite_session3", domain: :all

Now, when I run the specs there is an error

     ArgumentError:
       invalid domain: ".example.com"

I have cleared the tmp folder. I wonder if anyone has seen this and what it might be. Rails 6 by the way.

Thanks

If you are getting this ArgumentError using Ruby 3.1.3, 3.0.5 or Ruby 2.7.7, upgrade cgi gem version to 0.3.6.

Refer to https://github.com/ruby/cgi/pull/29
