Speaking of `controller.controller_name`: inside of the view spec controller is an instance of TestController and `controller.controller_name` and `controller.action_name` won't return you anything useful. Though RSpec tries to help us here a little bit by inferring `controller.controller_path` and `request.path_parameters` [1]. That's what I ended up using instead of `action_name` in my views.
