undefined local variable or method `root_path' Hartl's Tutorial Chapter 5.3.2

Question

So my first question on Stackoverflow..... =]

My tests in Chapter 5.3.2 of Michael Hartl\'s RoR Tutorial are all failing, when the tutorial says it should be passing

Answer 1

Mischa's answer will hopefully fix most of those problems, but your tests may still fail on the root_path issue.

Have you removed index.html like so: git rm public/index.html

And don't forget to commit your changes with: git commit -am "Message"
