Try to write a customized matcher, here is an example
# custom matchers
#---------------------
class UseLayout
def initialize(expected)
@expected = 'layouts/' + expected + '_layout'
end
def matches?(controller)
@actual = controller.layout
[EMAIL PROTECTED](@expected)
@actual == @expected
end
def failure_message
return "use_layout expected [EMAIL PROTECTED], got
[EMAIL PROTECTED]", @expected, @actual
end
def negative_failure_message
return "use_layout expected [EMAIL PROTECTED] not to equal
[EMAIL PROTECTED]", @expected, @actual
end
end
def use_layout(expected)
UseLayout.new(expected)
end
