This is a textual description used to help you. It doesn't actually mean anything to rspec at this time AFAIK. RSpec is able to to treat specs found in "spec/views/" as ViewExampleGroups based on the "view" directory naming convention, IIRC. > > 2) Running this spec gives: > > NameError in '/default/index.html.erb should render' > undefined local variable or method `render' for > #<ActiveSupport::TestCase::Subclass_1:0x351dc24> > themes/my_theme/spec/default/index.html.erb_spec.rb:11: > > any suggestions on how to approach this? Try passing in :type => "view" to your describe. e.g.: describe "your/partial", :type => "view" do # ... end Where does that take you? > > Thanks! > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users > -- Zach Dennis http://www.continuousthinking.com http://www.mutuallyhuman.com _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
