Hi, <br>
<br>
I think @header may not be an implementation detail in this case.<br>
<br>
If your layout looks like this:<br>
<br>
...<br>
<head><br>
<title><%= @header || 'Default Title' %></title><br>
</head><br>
...<br>
<br>
And the view we are testing looks like this:<br>
<br>
...<br>
<h1><%= @header = 'Specific Title'></h1><br>
...<br>
<br>
Then setting @header is an essential behavior for the view spec.<br>
<br>
Or am I missing something?<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
Patrick<br>

<pre wrap="">@header is an implementation detail of your view that you shouldn't
care about in your view spec at all. I recommend you use the have_tag
matcher instead to verify what content gets rendered as expected.

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
In my view specs (for Rails), how can I get at instance variables that
are set within my view? For example, if my view looks like this:
<% @header = "My Header" -%>
<div>some content</div>
How can I get to @header from within my view spec? I've tried @header
and assigns[:header] to no avail.
TIA,
Jeremy
