[rspec-users] Rspec: rendering a certain template with a certain layout is needed
Hello! I was trying render my view with a custom layout: render :template => "cards/show.html.erb", :layout => ''application'' And caught an error: Failure/Error: render :text => ''Text'', :layout => ''application'' Missing template /application with {:handlers=>[:rhtml, :rxml, :erb, :rjs, :builder], :locale=>[:ru, :ru], :formats=>[:html]} in view paths "/home/install/webdev/pkl/app/views", "/home/install/webdev/pkl/.bundle/ruby/1.8/gems/devise-1.1.3/app/views" After searching for a while I ran against this thread: http://forums.pragprog.com/forums/95/topics/3952 I wonder what should I do if I have controller/action specific translations in my layout, like this: <% @title = t("#{controller.controller_name}.#{controller.action_name}.title") if @title.blank? %> BTW, do you find it reasonable? I''m using this variable two times in my layout, and I want to check whether my page is translated properly, so I write a macros with a spec: it "should be translated" do render rendered.should_not have_selector(''span'', :class => ''translation_missing'') end but it does not render layout, so everything is fine even if I don''t have my title: ''Title'' set in i18n yml files. I have a spec to test my layout, but is knows nothing about controller, so it can''t test @title''s translated properly niether. I know, that I can do something like <%= yield :title %> in my layout and test content for title in every view spec, but this causes me to set :content_for ''title'' in every view template, which does not sound great. What could you advise for this tricky situation?

Speaking of `controller.controller_name`: inside of the view spec controller is an instance of TestController and `controller.controller_name` and `controller.action_name` won''t return you anything useful. Though RSpec tries to help us here a little bit by inferring `controller.controller_path` and `request.path_parameters` [1]. That''s what I ended up using instead of `action_name` in my views.
