Hi Ashley, You might want to check on http://www.slideshare.net/wycats/testing-merb-presentation Yehuda's presentation on testing Merb apps the Merb way.
If you generate a new 1.0RC app and then a resource you will notice that we don't generate any controller or view specs anymore. The reason being that we believe you should test the full request ad not just mock what the controller does. Here is an example of a model, controller and request spec: http://gist.github.com/17973 It's not complete but should help you to get started. -Matt On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 1:03 PM, Ashley Moran <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm new to Merb, just starting my first app tonight.
