I'm following Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial and I'm getting the following error in section 3.2.1 when I run:
bundle exec rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb
I've seen similar errors posted but none exactly the same. Any assistance would be appreciated.

You have to require FactoryGirl so you can use it.
So one way would be deleting the require: false and the other way would be to require it in the rails_helper.rb using
require 'factory_girl_rails'
i'm trying to find out what is wrong with this code. Namely it cannot find method 'stub_model'. Tried to look for solution for this but everywhere i look my files seems to be good. Please take a look on it maybe i just can't see a simple mistake. Thanks a lot :)
Book model is created in db.
My view spec (spec/view/books_spec.rb) looks like this:
require 'rails_helper'
describe 'books/new' do
it 'displays the book form' do
book = stub_model(Book)
assign(:book, book)
render
expect(rendered).to have_selector("form label[for *= 'Title']")
expect(rendered).to have_selector("form label[for *= 'Author']")
expect(rendered).to have_selector("form label[for *= 'Cover Photo']")
expect(rendered).to have_button "Add Book"
end
end
and the error is following:
1) books/new displays the book form
Failure/Error: book = stub_model(Book)

What is your rspec-rails version?
According to the Changelog and this Commit mock_model and stub_model are removed since version 3.0.0 of rspec-rails.
rspec mocks are externalized in an another gem rspec-activemodel-mocks . You should include it in your Gemfile and try it.
Hope it helps
this should be a comment to ahnbizcad's comment, but I lack the reputation to do it properly.
It should be fixed by adding
require 'rspec/active_model/mocks'
to spec_helper.rb

Do you have any ideas what am I missing? I am using Ubuntu 13.04.
Edit: Already tried let bang method but it still gets the same error.
In the previous post I forgot to put
require 'spec_helper'
in, but my code actually DID have it.
Sorry about that but it was not actually the problem there.
Solved: Thank you guys I've just solved it, it was just a silly typing in one of my templates.
Your static_pages_specs.rb is missing require 'spec_helper':
require `spec_helper`
describe "Static pages" do
...
end
Please forgive any shortcomings in this (my first-ever) post on StackOverflow. I'm brand new to Ruby on Rails. I'm following the Rails Tutorial. I have spent many unsuccessful hours consulting other threads discussing the same Name Error that I'm raising in this question.
Any attempt of mine to run an rspec test like so: $bundle exec rspec spec/models/user_spec.rb
throws the now infamous error: `': uninitialized constant Rails (NameError)
Let me know if there's any more information I should provide you in order to get the ball rolling.

I have definitely run bundle install. I can also confirm that I've already created the database and run the migration (db/test.sqlite3 already exists)
In your spec_helper.rb, you have the following line twice:
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
Delete the first instance (the one on line 2). This is what is causing the error.
Having this line before require 'rspec/rails' will cause problems because we don't know what Rails is, and so we cannot call the root method.
The second instance (on line 13) is fine because this is after require 'rspec/rails'.
Remove redundant require 'spec_helper' line from your spec_helper.rb file.

The file I get this error in looks like this (spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb) :
require 'spec_helper'
describe "StaticPages" do
include Capybara::DSL
describe "GET /static_pages" do
it "works! (now write some real specs)" do
# Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat methods/matchers
get static_pages_index_path
response.status.should be(200)
end
end
describe "Home page" do
visit 'static_pages/home'
page.should have_content('OfferMe')
end
end
My spec_helper.rb file looks like this:
# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'
# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}
RSpec.configure do |config|
# ## Mock Framework
#
# If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:

# Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
# If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
# examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
# instead of true.
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
# If true, the base class of anonymous controllers will be inferred

config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false

# order dependency and want to debug it, you can fix the order by providing
# the seed, which is printed after each run.
# --seed 1234
config.order = "random"
config.include Capybara::DSL
end
module ::RSpec::Core
class ExampleGroup
include Capybara::DSL
include Capybara::RSpecMatchers
end
end
And, finally, my Gemfile looks like this:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.2.7'
# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'
group :development, :test do
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'rspec-rails'
end
group :test do
gem 'capybara'
end
gem 'json'

# in production environments by default.

I have seen this GitHub issue and have tried some of the workarounds as well as looked at some other StackOverflow questions pertaining to the similar issue (that's why some of the code looks redundant/hacky). However, none of them have worked yet. Please help!
UPDATE:
The problem is that you're calling visit outside of an it block, here:
describe "Home page" do
visit 'static_pages/home'
page.should have_content('OfferMe')
end
Wrap those middle lines in an it block:
describe "Home page" do
it "has a homepage" do
visit 'static_pages/home'
page.should have_content('OfferMe')
end
end
That should work.
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
I could be wrong, but I believe you have to include capybara in both the test and development sections of your Gemfile.
Try changing that section of your Gemfile to this:
group :development, :test do
gem 'sqlite3'
gem 'rspec-rails'
gem 'capybara'
end
This is an old post. I have had the same issue. I thought I share my solution.
In my Gemfile I have had
group :test do
gem 'capybara'
end
And the visit was in the right spot however I was getting the same error. so this is what I did. I ran the update on the Gem and all are good now.
bundle update capybara
Hope this help someone.
