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.
