undefined local variable or method `root_path' Hartl's Tutorial Chapter 5.3.2

Question

So my first question on Stackoverflow..... =]

My tests in Chapter 5.3.2 of Michael Hartl\'s RoR Tutorial are all failing, when the tutorial says it should be passing

Answer 1

In your Gemfile, change the rspec-rails line to: gem 'rspec-rails', '2.12.0'

This version of rspec supports the approach Hartl is using at that point in the book.
