What I'm trying to ahieve is to do integration tests with webrat in rails3 like Yehuda does with test-unit in http://pivotallabs.com/talks/76-extending-rails-3 minute 34.

an example:

describe SomeApp
  it "should show the index page"
    visit "/"
    body.should =~ /hello world/
  end
end

Does someone knows a way to do it?

Have you tried using rspec-rails: http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails

That is the repository (install instructions in the Readme) for the new RSpec 2.0 which will work with Rails 3.
