How to spec Rails view partials in shared folders

Testing RSpec
1

Hi all

Would very much appreciate any assistance with this. Have Googled it
but can’t find an answer to it.

I’m using Rails3/Rspec2

I’m spec’ing a view which is a partial called ‘shared/_panels’.

When I try to spec it, I get an error that the controller ‘shared’
cannot be found (there isn’t a controller called ‘shared’, just a
shared folder which holds partials which are used in a couple of
different places).

I’ve tried changing the ‘render’ line to (various riffs on)
render :partial=>‘shared/panels’

…but I’m not having any joy

Any ideas anyone?

TIA!

Terry

The following works for me:

#####################################

spec/shared/thing.html.erb_spec.rb

require ‘spec_helper’

describe ‘shared/_thing.html.erb’ do
it ‘renders’ do
render
rendered.should =~ /Hello/
end
end

app/views/shared/_thing.html.erb

Hello
#####################################

HTH,
David

When I try to spec it, I get an error that the controller ‘shared’

TIA!
