My rspec title test is failing with:

1) HomeController Get 'index should have the right title
     Failure/Error: response.should have_selector("title",
     expected following output to contain a <title>TitleTest</title> tag:
     <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
     # ./spec/controllers/home_controller_spec.rb:13

My homecontroller has:

def index()
@title = “TitleTest”
end

my view (application.html.erb) has:

<title><%= @title %></title>

Running rails server shows that my title does get set, what’s wrong here?

    Make sure that in your controller spec, you have it set to render_views. Otherwise, rspec will not have the view to look into. Just add that bit of code right after your describe controller block.

    Update: You can find an example right here
