Question

I’m trying to use RSPec to test my Ruby on Rails 3.2 app.

When I generated the controller, some specs were created for the views and the controller. I tried adding the following test to the controller spec:

it "should have h1 of Home" do
  visit '/home/index'
  page.should have_selector('h1', text: "Home")
end

But couldn’t get it to pass.

When I ran rails generate integration_test home and put the same test in the homes_spec, the test works fine.

Why does it matter where the spec goes?

Thanks

According to the doc:

If you would like to use webrat or capybara with your request specs,
all you have to do is include one of them in your Gemfile and RSpec
will automatically load them in a request spec.

And request specs live in integration and requests folders.

Simply.
