    Taking pride in the way your code looks will help you find syntax issues; in this case, commas in the fill_in lines after the first parameter.

    require 'spec_helper'

describe "User pages" do
  subject { page }

  describe "signup page" do
    before { visit signup_path }

    it { should have_selector('h1',  text: 'Sign up') }
    it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Sign up')) }
  end

  describe "profile page" do
    let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
    before { visit user_path(user) }

    it { should have_selector('h1',  text: user.name) }
    it { should have_selector('title',  text: user.name) }
  end

  describe "signup" do
    before { visit signup_path }
    let(:submit) { "Create my account" }

    describe "with invalid information" do
      it "should not create a user" do
        expect { click_button submit }.not_to change(User, :count)
      end
    end

    describe "with valid information"  do
      before do
        fill_in "Name",         with: "Example User"
        fill_in "Email",        with: "user@example.com"
        fill_in "password",     with: "foobar"
        fill_in "confirmation", with: "foobar"
      end

      it "should create a user" do
        expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
      end
    end
  end
end
