The error you're receiving is because you need to include the devise test helpers

Generally you'll add this (and you might already have) to spec/support/devise.rb

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
end

But since you're creating a view spec, you'll want something like this:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
  config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :view
end
