index_spec.rb:6: undefined local variable or method `assigns' for Spec::Rails::Example::ViewExampleGroup::Subclass_1:Class (NameError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/example/ example_group_methods.rb:183:in `module_eval' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/example/ example_group_methods.rb:183:in `subclass' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/example/ example_group_methods.rb:55:in `describe' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.3.0/lib/spec/example/ example_group_factory.rb:31:in `create_example_group' Maybe I shall start with another clean rails project?
