Hello! Can anybody help me with using i18n.t method in rspec test  
files?  
I try to test this block:

describe “GET ‘home’” do  
it “should be successful” do  
get ‘home’  
response.should have\_selector(“title”,  
:content =\> @base\_title +  
i18n.t( ‘pages.title.home’ ))  
end  
end

but this error appear:

Failure/Error: :content =\> @base\_title + i18n.t( ‘pages.title.home’ ))  
undefined method `t’ for  
#RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested\_1::Nested\_4:0xa13716c
