[rspec-users] Problem with testing for an exception from a controller method

[Max Williams]

ah yes of course :)

So, now, "should_not be_success" passes ok, but should i be more specific
and require a particular error code?  If so, which would i get from a get
call that's failed because of a RuntimeError exception?

thanks!
