Rails rspec undefined local variable or `render_views' method

Question

When rspec starts, I get:

C: /www/kill/spec/games_controller_spec.rb: 4: in block in <top (required)>': undefined local variable or methodrender_views'

games_controller_spec.rb

require 'spec_helper'

describe GamesController, "creating a new game" do
  render_views
  fixtures :games

  it "should redirect to index with a notice on successful save" do
    Game.any_instance.stubs(:valid?).returns(true)
    post 'create'
    assigns[:game].should_not be_new_record
    flash[:notice].should_not be_nil
    response.should redirect_to(menu_items_path)
  end
end

spec_helper.rb

# This file is copied to spec/ when you run 'rails generate rspec:install'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'

# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each {|f| require f}

RSpec.configure do |config|
  # == Mock Framework
  #
  # If you prefer to use mocha, flexmock or RR, uncomment the appropriate line:
  #
  config.mock_with :mocha
  # config.mock_with :flexmock
  # config.mock_with :rr
  #config.mock_with :rspec

  # Remove this line if you're not using ActiveRecord or ActiveRecord fixtures
  config.fixture_path = "#{::Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"

  # If you're not using ActiveRecord, or you'd prefer not to run each of your
  # examples within a transaction, remove the following line or assign false
  # instead of true.
  config.use_transactional_fixtures = true

  # If true, the base class of anonymous controllers will be inferred
  # automatically. This will be the default behavior in future versions of
  # rspec-rails.
  config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false
end

You must put your controller specifications in a directory spec/controllers. RSpec includes these methods based on this, AFAIK.
