If you're doing it, it's obviously possible, but it feels wrong to me. I
think of a helper as a small piece of code that helps me decide what to
render, gives me a CSS class name based on some condition, gives me a small
chunk of markup whose generation would clutter up the view, etc. Have you
considered that, though the framework allows you to do this, it may not be a
good approach? In other words, instead of looking for a workaround, would it
make more sense (at least in the long term) to change your application?
I'm sorry I can't offer actual help w/ current tools. I'm curious if Rails 3
still supports this or if RSpec 2 will support it.
