That kind of makes sense, since should_receive's should be defined
*before* something happens. So, slightly diverting here, but say a
Post should receive find(:all) when you go to index/, it would look
something like:
describe PostsController do
it "should find all posts" do
Post.should_receive(:find).with(:all)
get "index"
end
end
The "trick" I gave you above was based on this one: http://

td15856651.html
Perhaps you should try giving the full path to load, eg. load
(RAILS_ROOT + "/app/controllers/my_controller.rb").
