[rspec-users] How do I write specs for Rails 3 view block helpers that use #with_output_buffer(&block) ?

[Kristian Mandrup]

I have finally come up with a workable solution

http://gist.github.com/545866

module MyViewHelper
  def tab_for(clazz, &block)
    content = with_output_buffer(&block)
    content_tag :li, content, :class => clazz
  end
end

module MyOtherViewHelper
...
end


describe "do it" do
  it "works" do
    ActionViewTester.tests MyViewHelper, MyOtherViewHelper
    ActionViewTester.new do |helper|
      helper.tab_for('kristian') { 'hello' }.should match /kristian/
      helper.hello('david') { 'hello' }.should match /david/
    end
  end
end
