You are my last resort for solving this issue as I have tried and tried to
solve it myself but can't.

I'm not even sure if it's an RSpec issue but the thing is, if I run the
request from the browser, it works. Sadly, my test fails. So either there's
something about Rails I don't know about (but should) or I'm doing something
wrong in RSpec.

Here is my test ....

let(:charity) { mock_model(Charity).as_null_object }
...
context "params[:term] has data" do
  it "calls Charity::fulltext_search" do

Charity.should_receive(:fulltext_search).with(String).and_return([charity])
    xhr :get, :autocomplete_index, :term => String, :format => :json
  end
end

And this is my controller ....

def autocomplete_index
  @charities = (params[:term].blank?) ? [] :
Charity.fulltext_search(params[:term])
  render :json => @charities   ##.to_json(:only => [:name,
:official_website])
end

As I said, this works from the browser but I get into a 'stack level too
deep' with RSpec.

I looked in to gems/actionpack-2.3.8/lib/action_view/paths.rb and it's
responsible for finding the template.

It raises MissingTemplate.new(self, original_template_path, format) and I
printed the original_template_path (charities/) and the format (json)

If anyone can me in the right direction, I would be v grateful. Thank you.

program quits with the 'stack level too deep' message.
