Why is Rspec saying "Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace"?

Question

I'm following the rails tutorial here: http://railstutorial.org/chapters/filling-in-the-layout#top

When I run "rspec spec/", I get a bunch of errors that look like this:

1) LayoutLinks should have a Home page at '/'
    Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
    stack level too deep
    # C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/1.9.1/forwardable.rb:185

2) LayoutLinks should have a Contact page at '/contact'
    Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
    stack level too deep
    # C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/1.9.1/forwardable.rb:185

But when I go in my web browser to localhost:3000/ and localhost:3000/contact, the pages are there and the correct titles are there. Here is my myrailsroot\spec\requests\layout_links_spec.rb file:

require 'spec_helper'

describe "LayoutLinks" do

  it "should have a Home page at '/'" do
    get '/'
    response.should have_selector('title', :content => "Home")
  end

  it "should have a Contact page at '/contact'" do
    get '/contact'
    response.should have_selector('title', :content => "Contact")
  end

  it "should have an About page at '/about'" do
    get '/about'
    response.should have_selector('title', :content => "About")
  end

  it "should have a Help page at '/help'" do
    get '/help'
    response.should have_selector('title', :content => "Help")
  end

  it "should have a signup page at '/signup'" do
    get '/signup'
    response.should have_selector('title', :content => "Sign up")
  end

end

Any ideas would be great, thanks

I GOT IT WORKING

W__A__Y__! more information than what you need, but for what it's worth, this Gemfile ...

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.3'

# Bundle edge Rails instead: 

# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'

# Use unicorn as the web server

# gem 'unicorn'

# Deploy with Capistrano

# gem 'capistrano'

# To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)

# gem 'ruby-debug'

# gem 'ruby-debug19'

# Bundle the extra gems:

# gem 'bj'

# gem 'nokogiri'

# gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'

# gem 'aws-s3', :require => 'aws/s3'


# Bundle gems for the local environment. Make sure to

# put test-only gems in this group so their generators

# and rake tasks are available in development mode:

# group :development, :test do

#   gem 'webrat'

# end

group :test, :development do

gem 'rspec-rails', '2.0.0.beta.18'

# gem 'capybara'

gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'

gem 'database_cleaner'

gem 'cucumber-rails'

gem 'cucumber'

gem 'spork'

gem 'launchy'

end

... after I run ...

$ bundle install

... and ...

$ bundle update webrat

... results in this ... bundle ...
