[rspec-users] Controller Specs - undefined local variable or method 'app'

[Doug Bryant]

Your hunch looks correct - I ran it through the debugger last night and
found the spot where it was failing in rack-test although I don't know why
it was failing.

I removed this line from my spec_helper.rb:

> config.include Rack::Test::Methods


and it magically started working again.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.
