Hartl Rails Section 8.3 rspec Error

I am working on a hartl rails tutorial

I am at the end of section 8.3, the application works correctly, but I get an rspec error

1) User pages signup with valid information after saving the user 
 Failure/Error: it { should have_link('Sign out') }
   expected link "Sign out" to return something
 # ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:48:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'

the user_pages_spec.rb part involved in this is

it "should create a user" do
    expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
  end  
  describe "after saving the user" do
    it { should have_link('Sign out') }
  end

I lost a little how to fix it. There are other posts similar to this, but alas, I cannot get their solutions to work in my case. Thank you

It looks like you need to create an account before checking the link. Tests more than you posted. Here is a snippet of code that I used when viewing the tutorial.

describe "after saving the user" do
  before { click_button "Create my account" }
  it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
