I think i answered my own question. :count refers to the number of fixture objects.
The reason why :count => 2 was passing for views index specs is because 2 objects are being mocked and they are identical. Hence, there are 2 stock tests: 1) asserts that there are 2 <td> elements which have the name of 'Name' 2) asserts that there are 2 <td> elements which have the name of 'Description' This is what a stock view index spec looks like: ---- Stock index spec view ---- describe "makes/index.html.erb" do before(:each) do assign(:makes, [ stub_model(Make, :name => "Name", :description => "Description", :created_by => "", :updated_by => "" ), stub_model(Make, :name => "Name", :description => "Description", :created_by => "", :updated_by => "" ) ]) end it "renders a list of makes" do render # Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat matchers assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Name".to_s, :count => 2 # Run the generator again with the --webrat flag if you want to use webrat matchers assert_select "tr>td", :text => "Description".to_s, :count => 2 end end ---- Stock index spec view ----
