This seemed to be a flickering sort of a bug for a while,but now it's appearing consistently: when I run RSpec on a fairly simple ApplicationHelper spec, I get the following error:
% rspec --backtrace
1) ApplicationHelper renders Markdown from plain text
Failure/Error: expect(helper.md(plaintext)).to eq("<h1 id=\"header\">Header</h1>\n")
NameError:

Here's the complete spec file (spec_helper is included as part of my .rspec file):
describe ApplicationHelper do
it 'renders Markdown from plain text' do
plaintext = '# Header'
expect(helper.md(plaintext)).to eq("<h1 id=\"header\">Header</h1>\n")
end
end
This was working up until recently, but I'm not certain what I could have done to break such a basic feature. I'm using edge versions of Rails and RSpec, but didn't see anything in their git repos to suggest that helper had been deprecated---and running rails g helper foo still generates a foo_helper_spec.rb file with instructions indicating that helper contains the helper itself. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful for them!
I created a new Rails project with a fresh RSpec installation, and it led me to the problem. Apparently one of the recent betas introduced a configuration directive called config.infer_spec_type_from_file_location! that was missing from my slightly older spec_helper file; without it, RSpec wasn't guessing the spec type and mixing in the associated methods. Beware breaking changes!
add :type => :helper
so your code should look like
describe ApplicationHelper, type: :helper do
...
end
That's a weird error !! are you sure you required spec_helper in your spec ?
Anyway you could try without the helper method:
First you should first add to /spec/spec_helper.rb the following:
RSpec.configure do |config|
...
config.include ApplicationHelper
end
Then test without helper , so it will be:
describe ApplicationHelper do
it 'renders Markdown from plain text' do
plaintext = '# Header'
expect(md(plaintext)).to eq("<h1 id=\"header\">Header</h1>\n")
end
end
From the backtrace, it doesn't look like you're using the rspec-rails gem - just rspec-core and rspec-expectations.
rspec-rails is what provides the helper method to your helper specs. From inside a spec in my codebase:
(rdb:1) self.method(:helper).source_location
["/home/becky/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/gems/rspec-rails-2.14.1/lib/rspec/rails/example/helper_example_group.rb", 19]

Background:
My testing suite did not handle any JS functionality until recently. I started out
only on my machine with a selenium-webdriver javascript driver and firefox 47.0.1
with no issues. I then migrated over to poltergeist supporting PhantomJS as
my javascript driver. I had to make a few changes to some broken tests, but have
very much enjoyed the changeover and am 'sold' on PhantomJS/poltergeist.
Expected Behavior:
I anticipated the tests to pass on my Gitlab-ci just as they had on my machine
(hey, we can dream), with maybe a few configuration tweaks needed.
Versions:
Ruby - 2.3.1
Rails - 5.0.0.1
poltergeist - 1.12.0
rspec - 3.5.0
rspec-rails - 3.5.1
capybara - 2.11.0
cliver - 0.3.2
factory_girl_rails - 4.7.0
phantomjs - 2.1.1 (on both my machine and CI server)
Capybara Config:
require 'capybara/rspec'
require 'capybara/poltergeist'
Capybara.default_driver = :rack_test
Capybara.register_driver :poltergeist do |app|
options = {
:js_errors => false,
:timeout => 360,
:phantomjs_options => ['--load-images=no', '--ignore-ssl-errors=yes', '--disk-cache=false']
}
Capybara::Poltergeist::Driver.new(app, options)
end
Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist
DatabaseCleaner Config
config.before(:suite) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end
config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = Capybara.current_driver == :rack_test ? :transaction : :truncation
DatabaseCleaner.clean
DatabaseCleaner.start
end
config.after(:each) do |example|
puts 'RAM USAGE: ' + `pmap #{Process.pid} | tail -1`[10,40].strip
if defined?(page)
Capybara.reset_sessions!
page.driver.restart
end
DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
Actual Behavior/Backtraces:
1. Failing Tests, PhantomJS Crash
To get a full stacktrace on my failing tests before I ate up all of my memory I
used the rspec --fail-fast option to kick back results for me on my first error.
This is what I returned:
ArgumentError:

Also, in my gitlab-ci.yml file, if I call phantomjs --version in before_script I receive:
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
PhantomJS has crashed. Please read the bug reporting guide at
<http://phantomjs.org/bug-reporting.html> and file a bug report.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
2. Memory Blowup SOLVED: see update 2
The tests would eat up the memory, even after we increased memory capacity on the
servers, and crash the test suite before it would finish. To track memory usage
in my RSpec configuration after each test I ran:
puts 'enter code hereRAM USAGE: ' +pmap #{Process.pid} | tail -1[10,40].strip
The memory would be minimally affected under the model tests, but grow rapidly
under the integration tests. Like so:
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 567800K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 567800K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 567800K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 568220K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 568220K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 568360K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 568500K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 568652K
Model Test-
RAM USAGE: 568788K
First Feature Test:
RAM USAGE: 1100628K
And blowing up from there.
To handle this I have made sure to use appropriate DatabaseCleaner strategies,
also cycled through trying tools such as Capybara.reset_sessions!,
Capybara.current_session.driver.quit, page.driver.quit, page.driver.restart
with no real joy.
UPDATE:
5:06 PM UTC, 15/12/16
1. Crashes
Gitlab support has suggested investigating whether our packages and dependencies are resulting in a non-headless situation with PhantomJS. We are investigating this now.
2. Memory
I've run a memory tracker against a few different iterations here, and it seems to be simply enabling our js: true feature tests with a javascript driver to be eating up the memory, going from 1G for about 1,750 tests to surpassing our 4G limit on 1,800-1,850 tests. This seems to occur, I believe, with either selenium-webdriver OR poltergeist as the js driver.
UPDATE 2:
11:45 PM UTC, 16/12/16
1. Crashing
Still awaiting proper installation of packages on our server. Will update and award answer if this is the issue.
2. Memory
On the branch where we were migrating over to the Javascript-driver enabled batch of tests, part of the configuration to speed up the tests implemented a DeferredGarbageCollector which had settings that gobbled up the memory. PhantomJS and Poltergeist are not leaking. SOLVED
http://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/14240 is the cause of your PhantomJS crashing - The version of PhantomJS shipped by Ubuntu requires X to run.
Download the official release build and use that to cure your crashing issue.
You may want to add the memory issue as a separate question.
I am a beginner with Rspec, and I found out my terminal output like this.
It's really in a mess and hard to understand test result.
Unlike the output in official tutorial.
Should I install some tools or modify some configuration?

If there is nothing in your spec_helper that somehow overrides the --format switch (which I do not even know if it's possible) then this should give you readable tests that pass:
zombie.rb exactly as you posted,
zombie_spec
require "spec_helper"
require "zombie"
describe Zombie do
it "is named Ash" do
zombie = Zombie.new
expect(zombie.name).to eq "Ash"
end
end
and command rspec spec/lib/zombie_spec.rb -f d which is short for --format documentation
EDIT*: Oh sorry, the Error you posted is indeed an RSpec error... Its just not formated, as you said x.x
try the --tty flag maybe?
rspec spec/lib/zombie_spec.rb --tty -f d
Whenever I'm trying to run rspec for whole project (there are over 1000 tests) after finishing all testcases I receive following error:

When I run only limited number of test cases, say, one file or single folder, everything works fine.
Here's my .rspec file
--color
--require rails_helper
and spec_helper.rb
require "rack_session_access/capybara"
RSpec.configure do |config|
end
So nothing suspicious, as for me
Any ideas on how to fix that?
Add this to your .rspec file:
--require spec_helper
This guarantees that your spec_helper is required before each spec.

Thank You.
Try updating RSpec. This: ruby-forum.com/topic/788351 (and the linked github issue) suggests there is an issue with older versions of RSpec, and Ruby 1.9.3.
