Error in testing ruby on rails using rspec in tutorial

Since you're using Bundler (i.e. you have a Gemfile), you need to make sure Capybara is in there too, otherwise your rails app won't know the gem is installed. Update your Gemfile to include capybara in the development/test environments:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails',      ">= 2.0.0.beta"
  gem 'capybara'
end

Ruby on Rails , Rspec Error while testing

You need to require 'spec_helper' in your spec source.

Your spec_helper should include both rspec/rails and capybara/rails in it.

You'll want to use get instead of visit if you want to access the response, however.

RSpec test destroy method (Rails Tutorial 3.2 Ch. 9, Ex. 10)

You are confusing rspec-rails request specs which are integration tests and are executed in a simulated browser and controller specs which test controller in isolation. delete(action, *args) (and get, post and so on) - is a method simulating request from ActionController::TestCase, so it's not available in your test.

So your only option is to simulate a click in a browser. I don't know how you hide your delete link, if the html is there but hidden you should be able to click it. If it's not there (removed on the server side when generating view) you can use capybara's page.execute_script (but you have to enable javascript for this example :js => true). You can either add the link back:

page.execute_script("$('body').append("<a href="/users/1" data-method="delete" rel="nofollow">Destroy</a>")")

or make ajax call:

page.execute_script("$.ajax({type:'DELETE',url:'/users/1'})")

Didn't test but something like this should work.

Error running rspec test in rails

There must be a "describe" that wraps before :each do

describe "Bla bla" do
  before :each do
    @my_base = MyBase.new
  end

  etc...

end

Anyway, the file name should be suffixed with _spec.rb

What is wrong with this Rspec test

In your HAML, your title shouldn't be in between apostrophes. Try:

!!! Strict
%html{ :xmlns => "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", 'xml:lang'=>"en", :lang=>"en" }
%head
  %title Ruby on Rails | Home
  = stylesheet_link_tag    "application", :media => "all"
  = javascript_include_tag "application"
  = csrf_meta_tags
%body
  = yield

Also, make sure you include render_views in your spec file:

describe PagesController do
  render_views
.
.
end

If that doesn't work. Try using a different gem version of Rspec - there is a bug in RSpec 2.0.0.beta.19

group :development do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.0.0.beta.18'
end

group :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.0.0.beta.18'
  gem 'spork', '0.8.4'
end

RSpec fails testing

you need to fix this

# PostgreSQL 8.4
development:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: ODQ_APP
  pool: 5

and add test section like this

# PostgreSQL 8.4
test:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: ODQ_APP_test
  pool: 5

also remember to create test db :)
Rspec runs in "test" environment so he will be looking under test key from database.yml not development :)

rspec test failure when switching from initializing attributes to Factory

The factory puts the record in the DB. User.new doesn't until it is saved. The original test doesn't check if user_with_same_email gets created, rather that 'it' (subject { @user }) can't be created because the email exists. After making your change to the @user, I had to rewrite the test:

describe "when email address is already taken" do
  let (:user_with_same_email)  { @user.dup }

  specify { user_with_same_email.should_not be_valid }
end
