[rspec-users] strange error on mock proxy

Brandon Keepers Fri, 07 Dec 2007 08:44:03 -0800

I'm banging my head over this really strange error in a view test when I run "rake spec". The weird thing is that I don't get the error when I run the spec file by itself.


Here is the spec (I know, fixtures are the devil):


describe "/units/new.html.erb here" do
  fixtures :units, :accounts, :groups
  it_should_behave_like '/units/_form'

  before do
    login_as :cathy
    assigns[:unit] = @unit = Unit.new
    @groups = accounts(:dawson).groups
    render "/units/new.html"
  end

  it "should render new form" do
    response.should have_tag("form[action=?][method=post]", units_path)
  end

end

And the error:

4)

ActionView::TemplateError in 'Spec::Rails::Example::ViewExampleGroup/ units/new.html.erb should render new form'

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.include?

I'm not sure why the error is in the mock proxy because this spec isn't using mocking at all.


Any ideas?
