Strange behaviour in rspec tests

I am writing tests with my RoR application. my static_pages_spec.rb

    # encoding: utf-8

require 'spec_helper'

describe "Static pages" do

  subject { page }

  describe "Home page" do
    before { visit root_path }

    it { should have_selector('h1',    text: 'Giripedia') }
    it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('')) }
    it { should_not have_selector 'title', text: '| Home' }
  end

  describe "Help page" do
    before { visit help_path }

    it { should have_selector('h1',    text: 'Yardım') }
    it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Help')) }
  end

  describe "About page" do
    before { visit about_path }

    it { should have_selector('h1',    text: 'Hakkımızda') }
    it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('About Us')) }
  end

  describe "Contact page" do
    before { visit contact_path }

    it { should have_selector('h1',    text: 'İletişim') }
    it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Contact')) }
  end
end

and in my spec/support/utilites.rb file 

def full_title(page_title)
  base_title = "Ruby on Rails Tutorial Sample App"
  if page_title.empty?
    base_title
  else
    "#{base_title} | #{page_title}"
  end
end

If I change base_title = "Giripedia forum ". The tests fail and give me errors : 

1) Static pages Home page 
     Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('')) }
       expected css "title" with text "Giripedia forum" to return something
     # ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:13:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

  2) Static pages Help page 
     Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Help')) }
       expected css "title" with text "Giripedia forum | Help" to return something
     # ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:21:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

  3) Static pages About page 
     Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('About Us')) }
       expected css "title" with text "Giripedia forum | About Us" to return something
     # ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:28:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

  4) Static pages Contact page 
     Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Contact')) }
       expected css "title" with text "Giripedia forum | Contact" to return something
     # ./spec/requests/static_pages_spec.rb:35:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Why does the change in base_title starts to fail in tests?

I could manage to find my mistake here. May be this would help others.

I only changed base_title in spec file. But I was supposed to change the base_title which is belonging the app/helper which was tested.

I know , I should read the test log well.
