Dear Aslak:
Sorry to bother you over and over again. I did follow your instruction to
write the controller spec, but...the thing is not getting better.:-(
I'd like to post my code again, hopefully you would figure it out.
My Controller
class MyController
def index
pre = Array.new
render :partial=>'index', layout=>false, locals=>{:pre=>pre}
end
end
------------------------------------------------------------
My Controller spec
describe MyController do
it "should render the index partial" do
controller.expect_render(:partial=>'index', :layout=>false)
get 'index'
end
end
------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, I am using JRuby rather than ruby. Hence my command to run the
spec above is
jruby --command spec spec/controllers/my_controller_spec.rb --format specdoc
It always gave me an error:Mock 'expect_render_mock_proxy' expected :render
with
({:partial=>"index"}) once, but received it 0 times.
Is it because "expect_render" is not compatible with JRuby or I forgot to
mock something?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.
