Hi Jeremie, I'm also using Rails 3.1.3 and rspec-rails 2.8.1 and I was in the same situation as you: neither the rspec issue #255 or the proposed solutions in this email thread solved my problems. But now I have something working for me (and hopefully it will work for you too).
As I recently posted on Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1987354/how-to-set-locale-default-url-options-for-functional-tests-rails/8920258#8920258 ), here is the code I use to inject the locale in the controller's params (which makes all my controller specs pass without explicitly specifying the locale in each controller spec): class ActionController::TestCase module Behavior def process_with_default_locale(action, parameters = nil, session = nil, flash = nil, http_method = 'GET') parameters = { :locale => I18n.default_locale }.merge( parameters || {} ) process_without_default_locale(action, parameters, session, flash, http_method) end alias_method_chain :process, :default_locale end end And here is the "cheat" I use to inject the locale in Rails's assert_recognizes method (which makes all my routing specs pass without explicitly specifying the locale in each routing spec): module ActionDispatch::Assertions::RoutingAssertions def assert_recognizes_with_default_locale(expected_options, path, extras={}, message=nil) expected_options = { :locale => I18n.default_locale.to_s }.merge(expected_options || {} ) assert_recognizes_without_default_locale(expected_options, path, extras, message) end alias_method_chain :assert_recognizes, :default_locale end Stucking those two code snippets in my spec helper class means that I do not need to change all my previous controller/routing specs during the implementation of supporting multiple locales for my app. Hope this helps, Martin -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
