require 'spec_helper'

  render_views

  describe "GET 'home'" do
    it "should be successful" do

    it "should have the right title" do
      get 'contact'
      response.should have_selector("title", :content => "Contact")
    end
  end

  describe "GET 'about'" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'about'
      response.should be_success

    it "should have the right title" do
      get 'help'
      response.should have_selector("title", :content => "Help")
    end
  end
end

That's a webrat method. Take a look at this: stackoverflow.com/questions/5388638/… — Tom L

If you don't want to use webrat, you can use

response.body.should include 'Contact</h1>'

Rather than

response.should have_selector("title", :content => "Contact")

Which is a bit less clean, I agree.

bundle install
