Question

Running rspec for the first time with the Rails tutorial, p. 95.
Getting this output:

    david@david-desktop:~/rails_projects/sample_app1$ bundle exec rspec /spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb
/home/david/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p362@rails3tutorial2nded/gems/rspec-core-2.9.0/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:746:in `load': cannot load such file -- /spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb (LoadError)

Here is Gemfile:

    source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.3'

# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

group :development, :test do
  gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.5'
  gem 'rspec-rails', '2.9.0'
end


# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '3.2.4'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '3.2.2'
  gem 'uglifier', '1.2.3'

  # See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
  # gem 'therubyracer', :platform => :ruby
end

gem 'jquery-rails'

group :test do
  gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
end

Have already done the rails generate rspec:install and
rails generate integration_test static_pages commands. Ideas?

Drop the leading slash in the filename:

bundle exec rspec spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb
