The ControllerBehaviour is trying to instantiate MyModule. What you'd
need to do is something like this:
class ControllerThatUsesMyModule
include MyModule
end
describe ControllerThatUsesMyModule, :behaviour_type=>:controller do
it "should render partial index" do
get 'copy' #test code not provided yet, just want to get the action
end
end
I haven't tried it, but it seems like it should work. Give it a whirl
and report back please.

David
