What if you stub ActionController::Base.view_paths instead?

Hey again everyone =P

Well, after the mind-melting exercise that was creating custom view_paths, I then had the lovely task of ensuring that our view tests still passed, as they were no longer passing due to the change in view_paths (which was foreseeable). The problem I had however, was trying to then set the view_path for our view tests. I couldn't come up with another way other than actually monkey-patching the view_paths for view tests ONLY. I am more than happy to listen to alternative/better ways of doing this, as I wanted to avoid a monkeypatch at all costs. For those interested, the code is below. It sits within the spec_helper.rb file that resides within your spec folder:

if File.dirname(__FILE__) =~ /\/views\//i
  module ActionController
    class Base
      def self.view_paths
        @view_paths = [File.join(RAILS_ROOT, 'app', 'views', 'default')]
        ActionView::TemplateFinder.process_view_paths(@view_paths)
      end
    end
  end
end

This sets the view_paths array to our default "theme", and ensures that all view_tests load views from that location. I cringe at how I've done this, so please - anyone who has a better way to do this, let me know! =)
