I, of course, do not want to test Rails. I do, however, want to ensure that I have a block to handle the correct MIME type and I have a template for that MIME type. I suppose checking for the template "foo/show" is good enough in this case. If there was an error, I'd get a nil there. I guess where this strategy falls down is if I forgot to put a responds_to in my controller. Then, no matter the format, I'll still render 'foo/show' (assuming I do indeed have that template) Thanks for your help, Seth _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
