That's odd.  In a controller example, you should have a #flash method
available to do exactly what you tried:

http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rspec-rails/1.2.2/classes/Spec/Rails/Example/FunctionalExampleGroup.html#M000051

Try this: where you would like to put the expectation, put "puts
self.class".  Then run it and see what class name it prints.  If it's
ControllerExampleGroup, then there's something weird going on.  If
it's not, then it hasn't figured out that you're spec'ing a
controller.  In that case, post the opening of the describe block and
we'll be able to see what's going on.
