Rails: Todo Application Test Issue..

I'm following the video letter for letter but when I run the 'bin/rspec spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb' I get the following error:

Macintosh:odot gafrong$ bin/rspec spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/activesupport-4.1.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:247:in require': cannot load such file -- capybar/rspec (LoadError) from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/activesupport-4.1.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:247:inblock in require' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/activesupport-4.1.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:232:in load_dependency' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/activesupport-4.1.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:247:inrequire' from /Users/gafrong/Source/odot/spec/spec_helper.rb:6:in <top (required)>' from /Users/gafrong/Source/odot/spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:1:inrequire' from /Users/gafrong/Source/odot/spec/features/todo_lists/create_spec.rb:1:in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:1065:inload' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:1065:in block in load_spec_files' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:1065:ineach' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb:1065:in load_spec_files' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/command_line.rb:18:inrun' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:89:in run' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p451/gems/rspec-core-2.99.0/lib/rspec/core/runner.rb:17:inblock in autorun' Macintosh:odot gafrong$

I had a lot of trouble with the tests- lots of no method errors on visit etc.

First — I looked at the current gem repos on Github. They often have the best information for installing a gem. Things can change significantly between versions.

Here's what worked for me (Jason might want to chime in). In the gem file:

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

group :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails'
  gem 'capybara'
end

In the create_spec.rb

instead of 

require 'spec_helper'

I used

require 'rails_helper'

in spec_helper.rb I used:

require 'capybara/rspec'

Now I'm on my way!
