it "creates a new bookmark" do
  get "/bookmarks"
  bookmarks = JSON.parse
(last_response.body)
  last_size = bookmarks.size

  post "/bookmarks",
    {:url => "http://www.test.com", :title => "Test"}

  last_response.status.should == 201
  last_response.body.should match(/\/bookmarks\/\d+/)


  get "/bookmarks"
  bookmarks = JSON.parse
(last_response.body)
  expect(bookmarks.size).to eq(last_size + 1)

end

Your test should be inside a describe block

require 'spec_helper'

describe MyController do 

  it "creates a new bookmark" do
    ..
  end

  ..
end
