Hello,

I am trying to get going with development of view components with
Rspec2 and Rails3.
However, I make the following observation, and I don't understand what
is going on, and how to fix this.

In my spec I define:

  describe "main/index.html.erb" do
    it "displays a photo url in products partial" do
      assign(:designs, [stub_model(Design, :name => "test", :photo =>
"photo_url")])

      render
      rendered.should contain("photo_url")
    end
  end

When I run:

    rspec spec/view/main_spec.rb


I get this error:

    1) main/index.html.erb displays a photo url in products partial
       Failure/Error: render
       ActionView::Template::Error:
         undefined method `photo' for nil:NilClass
       # ./app/views/main/_design.html.erb:3:in
`_app_views_main__design_html_erb__2937334847274155273_2170841960__1566661024965846011'
       # ./app/views/main/index.html.erb:25:in
`_app_views_main_index_html_erb__837234277009287876_2170861440__898201527838028543'
       # ./spec/views/main_spec.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in <top
(required)>'

However, if I only 'access' a local photo object in my partial
everything passes. This is:

in _design.html.erb:

      <%= design %>  ---> PASS
      <%= design.photo %>  ---> FAIL

In my view I call my partial as follows:

main.html.erb

     <%= render "design", :locals => { :designs => @designs } %>

What am I missing.
Thank you for your help!
