Rails 3.1, RSpec: testing model validations

I have traditionally handled error content specs in feature or request specs. So, for instance, I have a similar spec which I'll condense below:

Feature Spec Example

before(:each) { visit_order_path }

scenario 'with invalid (empty) description' , :js => :true do

  add_empty_task                                 #this line is defined in my spec_helper

  expect(page).to have_content("can't be blank")

So then, I have my model spec testing whether something is valid, but then my feature spec which tests the exact output of the error message. FYI, these feature specs require Capybara which can be found here.
