Topic: Rails tests failing

if i write the test like this its working just fine it passes green

it "should have the right title" do
        get 'view'
        response.should have_selector('title',
                                     :content => "View Snippets")
    end

but for the same page this format its red, they shold test for the same thing?
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15024055/CloudS … 232654.png

require 'spec_helper'

describe "SnippetsPages" do

    describe "New Snippet pages" do
        before { get 'new'}

        it { should have_selector('h1', content: 'New') }
        it { should have_selector('title', content: full_title('New Snippet')) }
    end


    describe "View Snippets pages" do
        before { get 'view' }

        it { should have_selector('h1', content: 'View') }
        it { should have_selector('title', content: full_title('View Snippets')) }
    end
end

I can't understand why my tests is not working Here is the helper:


def full_title(page_title)
    base_title = "Sample App"
    if page_title.empty?
        base_title
    else
        page_title
    end
end
