I'm running Rails 4.2.3. When I ran bin/rspec spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb it failed.

The failure/error read: expect(page).to have_content("New todo_list") expected to find text "New todo_list" in "New Todo List Title Description Back" # ./spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'

Thats because it generates the scaffold a little bit different.

You have to adjust your test to:

expect(page).to have_content("New Todo List")

It might happen sometimes, because you are running a different rails version. But just take a look at your page and try to find those little differences.

Hope that helped
