Ruby on Rails

Ok, now I have to ask. I am doing exercise 9.9 from the RoR tutorial (3.2). 

I have this rspec/capybara test to make sure that admin user cannot delete him/herself: 

  subject { page }

  . . .

  describe "as admin user" do

      let(:admin) { FactoryGirl.create(:admin) }

      before { sign_in admin }

      describe "submitting a DELETE request to the Users#destroy action" do

        before { delete user_path(admin) }

        specify { response.should redirect_to(root_path) }

        # cannot get the following test to work, even though in browser it works

        # it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-error') }

      end

    end

 

The test works otherwise ok, but the commented-out line fails when it shouldn't. I verified in browser that the flash error message does in fact appear - here is the html (hope the html entities for greater-than and less-than will be parsed in the following):  

    <div class="alert alert-error">Admin cannot destroy him/herself.</div>  

 

Does this have to do with the fact that the server response involves redirect? How could this be fixed? I can live without this test, but I may need the info later.
