[rspec-users] view spec template.base_path

[Phillip Koebbe]

 I have a helper method

def partial_path_for(partial, options = {})
    base_path = options[:base_path] || self.template.base_path
    "_partials/#{base_path}/#{partial}"
end
and use it in a template (haml) like

= render :partial => partial_path_for(:details)

I'd like to have a similar helper for view specs so I can do this

describe 'web/admin/merchants/show.html.haml' do
    before(:each) do
        @merchant = stub_model(Merchant, :name => 'Some Merchant')
        assigns[:merchant] = @merchant
    end

    it 'should render the details partial' do
        partial_path = partial_path_for(:details, :base_path => 
self.template.base_path)
        template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => partial_path)
        render
    end

    it_should_behave_like 'merchant details'
end

Unfortunately, if I debug right before the template.should_receive 
statement, self.template.base_path is nil. How can I get the path to the 
template?

Thanks,
Phillip
