I'm trying to wrap my head around rspec_on_rails and ran into the
following documentation nit:
-------- what it says --------
You can specify :template, :text, or :action.
controller.should_render :template=>"path/to/template/for/action"
controller.should_render :text=>"expected text"
controller.should_render :action=>"expected_action"
-------- what it means --------
You can specify :template, :text, or :action, depending on how the
rendering was supposed to happen in your code. So, for example, if
you planned to render something as text, you would use:
controller.should_render :text => "it's a bird, it's a plane, nope,
it's a bird alright."
If your controller is expected to render by action (and only by
action), then then use :action. Here is some controller code:
def index
list
render :action => 'list'
end
and the spec for that:
specify "should render using the list *action*" do
controller.should_render :action => 'list'
end
Note that while the above example works properly, the following
fails, even though you knew the exact correct template name:
specify "should render using the list template" do
controller.should_render :template => 'users/list'
end
Useful info? I'm a newbie, so just trying to help out.
