[rspec-users] Rails Rendering diagnostics.rhtml in Controller Spec

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. Strangely it's not working when I
place it at the top of a controller spec:

---
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'
class ArticlesController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end

describe ArticlesController do
  #...
end
---

I get this error:

---
  You have to declare the controller name in controller specs. For example:
    describe "The ExampleController" do
      controller_name "example" #invokes the ExampleController
    end
---

Placing it at the end of the spec file seems to work though.

This doesn't have any effect for me. It still renders the
diagnostics.rhtml template with that in the spec_helper. I'm running
1.0.
