Hey Francis - Great to see you've finally come over from the dark
side (Test::Unit)! How is rspec treating you?
Anyway - here's how I've done it with a 404:
describe ErrorController, "view" do
it "should render the 404 page in public/" do
get :view
response.should render_template("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/404.html")
end
it "should return an HTTP status code of 404" do
get :view
response.headers["Status"].should == "404 Not Found"
end
end
I would imagine you could do something similar for 301. I don't
think there are currently any matchers for these status codes like:
should_be_not_found or should_not_be_a_404, although they could
certainly be written. (Method missing seems to be screaming at me
here...)

Scott Taylor
