I'm in the process of upgrading from ruby 1.8.7 to ruby-1.9.2-p18 and from rails 2.3.8 to rails 2.3.9 and my tests of helpers have stopped working, for example script/spec spec/helpers/application_helper_spec.rb (Full sample shown below.)
The output is below. The problem occurs in helper_example_group.rb when trying @controller.request = @request I have not been able to figure out why @controller is nil. A minimal rails project that reproduces the problem is available at https://github.com/whenceforth/Helper-Test-Fail-Project I'm using bundler. script/spec --version rspec 1.3.1 which ruby /Users/art/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby Thanks in advance for any pointers.
