RSpec: be_true does not actually check if a value is true
Don't use be_true to check if a value is true. It actually checks if it anything other than nil or false. That's why it has been renamed to be_truthy in recent RSpec versions.
The same thing holds for be_false, which actually checks if a value is not "truthy".
If you want to check for true or false in RSpec 2, write this instead:
Copyvalue.should == true value.should == false
If you want to check for true or false in RSpec 3+, write this instead:
Copyexpect(value).to eq(true) expect(value).to eq(false)
