Summary: RESTfully generated (polymorphic) helpers require arguments in rspec but not in rails

Initial Comment:
My view tests fail when I try to use the polymorphic helpers in rails and report back an error like this:

ActionView::TemplateError in 'Edit Artist Page should render the edit
artist form'
label_artist_url failed to generate from {:controller=>"artists",
:action=>"show"} - you may have ambiguous routes, or you may need to
supply additional parameters for this route.  content_url has the
following required parameters: ["labels", :label_id, "artists", :id] -
are they all satisfied?
On line #3 of app/views/artists/edit.rhtml

   1: <h1>Editing artist</h1>
   2:
   3: <% form_tag label_artist_path, :method => :put do %>
   4:   <%= render :partial => 'form' %>
   5:   <%= submit_tag 'Save' %>
   6: <% end %>

I could stub out the method, but then I wouldn't be testing the view in its entirety. I could provide the arguments that it asks for and the tests passes. Forcing me to add the arguments adds unnecessary noise to the code and should not be a requirement to get tests to pass in rspec. I will try this without nested routes and see if the same problem arises and will also try to see if I can make a patch for this.
