Hm, of course, now that I have sent the previous email, I found the
bug in my code and have fixed it. So I know I am using RSpec
correctly with controllers and a respond_to block. Using the :format
=> 'json' attribute in my get call was all I needed.
However, not matter what the format I choose, the template rendered is
always "databases/show" (this is essentially correct behavior).
However, it's hard to determine which show was rendered:
show.json.erb or show.html.erb
I can check the content-type header, but that's not exactly what I'd
like to test.
Is there a better way to write a spec to ensure that the correct
template is rendered when I use certain formats?
