I am following the tutorial from Michael Hartl . I tried the first test example for testing the app with Rspec and when I execute this command "bundle exec rspec spec\requests\static_pages_spec.rb" I get this error.

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.
If static_pages_spec.rb has string require 'spec_helper' and you get
Failure/Error: visit '/static_pages/home'
add to spec_helper.rb string config.include Capybara::DSL
it helped me

Digging up online suggested putting config.include Capybara::DSL in spec/spec_helper.rb. I did that and didn't work. Another suggestion said I need to move my static_pages_spec.rb to spec/features. I did that and that didn't work either.
Help? :D
visit is a method used in feature specs.
In your request specs you instead use the HTTP verbs get, post, patch etc to send http requests.
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe "Static pages" do
describe "Home page" do
it "should have the content 'Sample App'" do
get '/static_pages/home'
expect(page).to have_content('Sample App')
end
end
end
I believe you are using a badly outdated tutorial as well as subject.should has been depreciated for a long time in favor of
expect(subject).to.
While you can mix capybara into your request specs it may be better to use request specs as a low level integration tests and leave the higher level clicking and button pushing to your feature specs.
When you run into trouble you might want to refer to the official RSpec-rails documentation instead.

I'm following the ROR tutorials , Im testing with rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb , Error occurred " No DRb server is running. Running in local process instead"' I did some research , they said it's because Spork server is not running , so i added Spork.each_run do to the spc file, it dosen't help , I also modified the gem file from gem 'guard-spork' to gem 'guard-spork', :github => 'guard/guard-spork' Still the same, Anyone can help? Thanks in Advance!

require 'spec_helper'

it "should have the base title" do

You should run spork in different process with command spork. Also, remove Spork part from test and modify you spec_helper file with something like this (move all in Spork.prefork block)
The other thing is that Spork had been replaced (not directly) by spring that does the same thing, but without additional configuration.
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.

Spec helper here:

#describe StaticPagesHelper do

I notice that it is empty, however, the tutorial's steps did not require any changes.
Your error says the framework cannot load the file "/Users/kelvinyu/rails_projects/sample_app/signup with invalid information" which clearly isn't a file—the file is "spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb". Try having everything in one line—without the \ > (this slash angle bracket only means that there, maybe, was a line break when Michael Hartl was typing up the tutorial.
Also, look to using describe and context interchangeably. This would make you write clearer specs. There is no magic to it. The sourcecode for RSpec shows that context is just another name for describe. But when you write specs with both, the meanings are clearer.
I can't make Capybara to work in many of my integration tests.
When I visit certain pages, I get the following html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
And so when I try to use the have_content() selector, it raises the following error:
Failure/Error: page.should have_content("HELLO")
Capybara::ElementNotFound:
Unable to find xpath "/html"
Some of the pages of my apps I can visit just fine, but some other ones I can't. There are even some pages that work at some places, and not at others:
require 'spec_helper'
describe HomeController do
it "shows the website description" do
visit root_path
puts page.html.length # ==> 108 (no html)
...
end
end
require 'spec_helper'
describe FlowsController do
it "should do stuff" do
visit root_path
puts page.html.length # ==> 4459, works even if the exact same one didn't work in home_controller_spec!
visit flows_path
puts page.html.length # ==> 3402, works
visit new_user_session_path
puts page.html.length # ==> 3330, works
within("form#new_user") do
fill_in 'Email', :with => 'email#example.com'
fill_in 'Password', :with => 'password'
click_on 'Sign in'
end
puts page.html.length # ==> 108, No html
end
end
I read in this post that this was an error that might occur when using Capybara and webrat at the same time. But I'm not using webrat at all, and I still get the error...
