Question

require 'spec_helper'
describe "LayoutLinks" do
  it "should have a Home page at '/'" do
   get '/'
   response.should have_selector('title', :content => "Home")
 end
end

Spec source: https://github.com/railstutorial/sample_app/blob/master/spec/requests/layout_links_spec.rb
(I’m reading the book)

I tried putting integrate_views and render_views, but it returned an undefined variable error.
