Hi Andre,

Thanks for your reply ... following is the
authentication_pages_spec.rb file which now resides in the spec/
features folder ... all of the tests pass except three.

         require 'spec_helper'

     describe "Authentication" do

       subject { page }

       describe "signin" do
         before { visit signin_path }

         it { should have_selector('h2',     text: 'Sign in') }
         it { should have_title('Sign in') }

          before { click_button "Sign in" }

          it { should have_title('Sign in') }
          it { should have_error_message('Invalid') }

           describe "after visiting another page" do
            before { click_link "Home" }
             it { should_not have_selector('div.flash.error', text:
'Invalid') }
          end
        end

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

          it { should have_title(employee.emp_full_name) }

This is the error that I am getting for three of the failures:

     ......................FFF....

    Failures:

the Employees controller submitting to the update action

and here is the utilities.rb file to be found in the spec/support

       end
     end

         Capybara.string(page.body).has_selector?('title', text: text)
       end
     end

     def sign_in(employee)
       visit signin_path
       fill_in "Email",      with: employee.email
       fill_in "Password",   with: employee.password
       click_button "Sign in"
       # Sign in when not using Capybara.
       cookies[:remember_token] = employee.remember_token
     end

     def valid_signin(admin)
       fill_in "Email",       with: admin.email
       fill_in "Password",    with: admin.password
       click_button "Sign in"
     end

I did try and move the:

                  describe "submitting to the update action" do

test to the spec/request folder and it passes in the request folder
but fails in the features folder and I think that has something to do
with the fact that Capybara does not do integration tests or to put it
another way ... you cannot get access to your controller using
Capybara ... that is just me speculating.

Thanks for having a look at this.
