Render_with_layout not working with RSpec 2 + Rails 3 + shoulda 2.11.3

Testing RSpec
1

Hello,

I am trying to assert that my controller is rendered with particular
layout
file

it “should render application layout” do
get :index
should render_with_layout(‘application’)
end

but it is giving error like

 undefined method `layout' for nil:NilClass
 #

/Users/userX/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.0.0/lib/active_support/whiny_nil.rb:48:in

# ./spec/controllers/some_controller_spec.rb:6:in `block (2 levels)

I have uploaded a sample app where the issue can be produced here →

What am I doing wrong ? is it a good idea to jump on Rails 3 while
issues
with a lot of essential plugins still being ironed out ?

Thanks,

My 2cents: while upgrading my test suite I replaced all such cases with
just
it { should render_template(“layouts/application”) }

Worked for me.
