The helper spec I am writing tests a helper method that calls render.
##
module HelperHelper
def render_partial
render :partial => 'partial'
end
end
##
The helper spec.
##
describe HelperHelper do
it "should render partial" do
render_partial.should_not == nil
end
end
##
The output generated
##
$ spec spec/helpers/home_helper_spec.rb
.F
1)
NoMethodError in 'HelperHelper should render partial'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.render
app/helpers/helper_helper.rb:4:in `render_partial'
./spec/helpers/helper_helper_spec.rb:3:
Finished in 0.00000 seconds

I tried adding a before(:each) to setup response, controller, and
template objects that render would be called on but the error was
always the same. I am still uncertain I did this correctly although
I did spend some time looking at the render definition in the rails
source.
Is there a standard way of setting up specs for helpers that call
render?

(I apologize if this has already been answered. We spent a good deal
of time searching around the web for a solution but came up empty so
far.)
