The reason this doesn't work is because rspec's "render" method in
your view example is just wrapping a call to the actual template.
Here's what I mean. Given your example:
it "should work" do
template.stub!(:render)
template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "foo")
render @template_with_render_partial_foo
# in your view you call <%= render :partial => "foo" %>
end
Here's what it is really doing:
it "should work" do
@controller.template.stub!(:render)
@controller.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "foo")
@controller.template.render @template_with_render_partial_foo
# in your view you call <%= render :partial => "foo" %>
@controller.template.render :partial => "foo"
end
The @controller.template is the actual template that gets rendered.
The "render" call in your example is made on the same template object
that the actual "render :partial" call is made on. So, when you make
the call to render the @template_with_render_partial_foo you have
stubbed out that render method and it never actually renders anything
causing your example to fail because it never gets to the view
template that calls 'render :partial => "foo"'
Hopefully this helps clear it up?
