coveralls not reporting & error

[saracarl]

Travis shows this:

[Coveralls] Submitting to https://coveralls.io/api/v1
Coveralls encountered an exception:

nginx

seems related to this: lemurheavy/coveralls-public#1240
which is references with a possible fix here: siegfault/expiration#592

Do we really need to upgrade our ruby version to get coveralls working?

This now makes tests appear like they failed, when they actually passed.
