Of course, the subject of this thread should smack us all in the face
and point in a different direction:
describe "any controller", :shared => true do
it "should render partial index" do
get 'copy' #test code not provided yet, just want to get the action
end
end
# an actual controller - not just for specs
class FooController
include AnyController
end
# in spec/controllers/foo_controller_spec.rb
describe FooController do
it_should_behave_like "any controller"
... #more stuff specific to FooController
end
