I am getting a No Method Error for 'Writing our First tests"

Question

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Creating do to lists" do
    it "redirects to the to do list index page on success" do 
        visit "/todo_lists"
        click_link "New Todo lists"
        expect(page).to have_content("New todo_lists")
    end
end

And the console:

In the spec_helper.rb add

require 'capybara/rails'

if you are still having trouble under Rspec config add

RSpec.configure do |config|
 config.include Capybara::DSL

Also make sure you have the capybara gem in your gemfile

I had to add

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Capybara::DSL
end

Thanks
