While following http://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html and trying to run test against my auto-generated controller this is the error that I am facing.

Both the controller and the test file for the controller are auto generated. Only change was made to the model by making the title field mandatory.

Not sure what I am missing. Does the rails server needs to be up and running in order to run the functional tests?

My bad. All the tests pass as soon as I switch the environment variable RAILS_ENV from development to test.

try adding session[:_csrf_token] = SecureRandom.base64(32) to your before do block and see if the test passes.
