From a brief look over (apologies if I missed something), you are
not invoking the errors you need to cause your rescue etc blocks to run.
I think you want to do:
@foo.should_receive(:update_attributes!).with(params
[:foo]).and_raise(RecordNotSaved)
@object_in_rescue_block.should_receive(:some_message)
get :action, :id => 1
What you appear to be doing here:
> it "should retrieve a Foo instance, identified by ID and throw an

> get :action, :id => 1

is testing that the code throws an exception, NOT that your code
handles it; ie you are describing an assumption of someone else's
code rather than the behaviour of yours, which is not what you want
in a spec.
