Dear Aslak and David:
I have tried two possible ways to get expect_render work. However, they
all failed. My combinations are:
my controller spec
describe MyController do
before do
#do nothing
end
it "should render the index partial" do
controller.expect_render(:partial=>'index') #1st way
MyController.expect_render(:partial=>'index') #2nd way
end
end
The 1st way gave me an error: Mock 'expect_render_mock_proxy' expected
:render with ({:partial=>'index'}) once, but received it 0 times
The 2nd way gave me an error: undefined method 'expect_render'
Do I need to mock the controller or there are some mistakes I have made in
my spec?
