I just solved the problem by including the below code in my acceptance helper. If you are not Steak then just simply put it in spec helper or require it from somewhere else. post and xhr methods are now available in that spec regardless in what spec it is or in what directory you are.
The code is derived from RSpec::Rails::RequestExampleGroup <pre> RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup.class_eval do include ActiveSupport::Concern include ActionDispatch::Integration::Runner include RSpec::Rails::BrowserSimulators def app ::Rails.application end def last_response response end end </pre> _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
