I followed your advice, with one slight addition. Inside of my
describe block I included the ApplicationHelper manually, so that I
could call the methods in it. Everything is working fine now.
Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
Hoping you can help. I have a project using rspec 1.1.3 and rails
2.0.2.
I've run into a small problem. Said project has a method in
application_helper.rb named "description". Whenever a spec test
fails, I
see a message like so:
*snip*/vendor/plugins/rspec/lib/spec/runner/reporter.rb:37:in
`description': wrong number of arguments (0 for 2) (ArgumentError)
It just so happens that my description method takes 2 arguments.
It seems
that this method is clashing with one of the methods in rspec. Is
there a
workaround for this situation? It's a pain to have to rename my
method
everytime I want to see a proper failure message from rspec.
I'm attaching a full backtrace run with --trace.
If the first argument to describe() is a module it gets included in
the resulting example group. To avoid this, just make it a String:
describe 'MyHelperModule' do
...
end
In the next release there is a helper object you can use in your
helper examples:
describe HelperModule do
it "should describe something by default" do
helper.description.should == "something"
end
end
In some future release, that is the only way it will work as we will
no longer include the module in the example group. That might be a way
off though.
Cheers,
David
