Ruby on Rails Saturday, March 30, 2013

Hello Everyone,


I am new to Ruby on Rails. I just finished Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial and I just started on Agile Web Development with Rails, Fourth Edition by Sam Ruby. In trying to build confidence and proficiency, I started building small apps and decided, as I had learned from Michael Hartl, to use capybara and rspec. But when I tried it nothing was working. It turns out, this was the reason:

If you are using Rails, put your Capybara specs in spec/features.
 
And in order to use the tests I had created in spec/requests, I have to do this:

If you are not using Rails, tag all the example groups in which you want to use Capybara with :type => :feature.

Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this? I'm sure there is a good reason for this that my newbie self does not comprehend yet. Thank you in advance.
