Ruby on Rails Tutorial Chapter 5.3

CODE site_layout_test.rb

require ‘test_helper’

class SiteLayoutTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest

test “layout links” do
get root_path
assert_template ‘static_pages/home’
assert_select “a[href=?]”, root_path, count: 2
assert_select “a[href=?]”, help_path
assert_select “a[href=?]”, about_path
assert_select “a[href=?]”, contact_path
end
end

ERROR

This is what I see when I try to run the test :

FAIL[“test_layout_links”, SiteLayoutTest, 2015-05-19 22:21:27 +0530]

Do you see the two links to “/” when you go to the page in a browser?

inside app/views/layouts please check these two files

_header.html.erb
_footer.html.erb

add following code to both files
