Here's the back trace

And here's the controller action:

  def show
    @search = Search.find(params[:id])
    if @search.too_many_results?
message_to_new "Your search returned too many results ([EMAIL PROTECTED] }). Please narrow your criteria and search again." 
      return
    elsif @search.no_results?
message_to_new "Your search returned no results. Please change your criteria and search again." 
      return
    end
    init_map
    @props = @search.do_search
    @markers = []
    @props.each do |prop|
      coords = prop.latlng
      unless coords.lat == 0 || coords.lng == 0
prop.info_box = render_to_string(:partial => "/properties/ map_info_box", :object => prop) 
        mark = prop.has_photos? ? "green" : "red"
marker = GMarker.new(coords, :title => prop_help.bubble_header(prop), :info_window => prop.info_box, :icon => Variable.new(mark)) 
        @map.overlay_init marker
        @markers << marker
      end
    end
    unless @markers.empty?
@map.center_zoom_on_points_init(*(@markers.collect {|x| x.point})) 
    else
      @map.center_zoom_init(@search.center, 12)
    end
  end

Thanks,

Hi all,
I have a controller I'm trying to spec out, and I'm running into some issues with render_to_string.
Basically, the show gets an array of objects, calls render_to_string for each of them, and then renders the show template. 

So I have the standard spec:


  it "should render show template" do
    do_get
    response.should render_template('show')
  end


but when I run the spec I get the following failure:
'SearchesController handling GET /searches/1 should render show template' FAILED 
expected "show", got "properties/_map_info_box"


Does anybody have any ideas?


Please post the controller action and the full backtrace:

script/spec spec/controller/path/to/the/spec.rb -fsb

Thx
