Ruby on Rails

Hey fuzzy,

I think the first thing that is maybe wrong with your spec is that you are trying to do a request inside of a describe.

it should be something like:

describe "#update" do

before { put employee_path(employee) }

it "returns something or does something" do

specify { response.should redirect_to(signin_path) }

end

end

also whats the whole spec file you are running and in which like you get and which error exactly: please copy all this details

all the best,

Andre

I just read that Capybara does not do integration testing ... this I
found right at the bottom of the Capybara documentation page. So since
all Capybara tests reside in the spec/features folder, I moved the

                     submitting a PUT request to the Employees#update

test into the spec/request folder and it passes.

Some progress .. now for the other two failing tests ... namely the:

              undefined local variable or method 'cookies'

Some more research of maybe someone has an understanding of why this
test is failing and is willing to give me some guidance?

Thanks.
