[rspec-users] RSpec 2/Rails 3 - content_for in view specs
My main layout includes separate content_for/yield sections for my header,
sidebar, footer, and content. However, when running a view spec, the
`rendered` variable seems to only contain a string of just the primary
content and ignores the header/footer/sidebar as well as the rest of my
layout file (the "render" call just returns my primary content wrapped
in
generic <html> and <body> tags).
Is there a way to get to the content captured in a "content_for" block
through my view specs, or at the very least get my "render" call to
use the
full layout?
I''ve tried doing a "render :layout =>
''application''" which gives me:
1) contacts/show.html.erb shows a URL if the contact has one
Failure/Error: render :layout => "application"
undefined method `formats'' for nil:NilClass

`render''
# ./spec/views/contacts/show.html.erb_spec.rb:20:in `block (2 levels) in
<main>''
I''ve also tried using response.capture(:sidebar), response[:sidebar],
rendered.capture(:sidebar), rendered[:sidebar], view.capture(:sidebar), etc.
and none of them worked -- they all give various errors.
Here is my view spec that I''m trying to run:
describe "contacts/show.html.erb" do
it "shows a URL if present" do
@contact = Factory(:complete_contact, :web_page => "
http://www.example.com") # Using Factory Girl
render
rendered.should have_selector("span", :content => "
http://www.example.com")
end
end
Thank you!

This worked in Rails 3.1 but view.instance_variable_get(:@_content_for) is nil in Rails 3.2 Anybody have a solution for this in Rails 3.2? Thanks!
