rspec

Does anyone know how to make rspec follow a redirect (in a controller spec)? (e.g test/unit has follow_redirect!)

I have tried "follow_redirect!" and "follow_redirect" but only get

undefined method `follow_redirect!' for #<Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0xb6df5294>
