There is FactoryGirl and rspec.
The Post model has a title column
. There is also a title function in the ApplicationHelper. I need this function inside other tests.

module ApplicationHelper<br>
  # Return a title on a per-page basis.<br>
  def title<br>
    base_title = "Blog"<br>
    if @title.nil?<br>
      base_title<br>
    else<br>
      "#{base_title} | #{@title}"<br>
    end<br>
  end<br>
end<br>

spec/factories.rb

FactoryGirl.define do<br>
  factory :post do<br>
    title  "Title #1"<br>
  end<br>
end<br>

spec/support/utilities.rb
include ApplicationHelper<br>
spec/requests/articles_pages_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'<br><br>
describe "Articles page" do<br>
  subject { page }<br><br>
  describe "index page" do<br>
    let(:post) { FactoryGirl.create(:post) }<br>
    before { visit root_path }<br><br>
    it { should have_selector('h2 a', text: post.title) }<br>
  end<br><br>
end<br>

We run tests and get an error
rspec spec/requests/articles_pages_spec.rb

How to make it work?
Tried like this:

FactoryGirl.define do<br>
  factory :post do |u|<br>
    u.title  "Title #1"<br>
  end<br>
end<br>

Same error

The simplest solution is to rename helper, it will definitely help

do not use
spec/support/utilities.rb
include ApplicationHelper
