I'm not sure how this is working to begin with. Where is this expectation in the flow of the code? It would seem to need to be before the request since it's a should_receive But then what's response at this point? And what's response.template? It's the controller, not the template which receives the render call. You say that this is in a story step? I've got a hunch that the step is'nt actually matching and therfore not getting run, which would explain why the assertion never fails. If you're doing this as a full stack rails integration story, I don't believe that you've got access to the controller, and this level of specification doesn't belong here but rather in a controller spec, where you might want to use expect_render instead of should_receive(:render) as well. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
