rspec users - Jul 2011 - Rspec2: checking a view calls a helper

I have a view which calls a helper. Lets'' call it "abc"

So in my view, I write
=abc #(I''m using haml)

When I run the view in my webserver, all works fine

But when I run my view spec, it tells me
  undefined local variable or method ''abc'' for
#<#Class:0xnumbers>

I''ve googled this, but can''t find the right way to tell the
spec to
access the helper. Any clues, anyone?



If it helps, here''s (an edited version of) the view spec code:

describe "users/index.html.haml" do
  before do
    render
  end
  it "stuff" do
    rendered.should have_selector(''whatever'')
  end

end

TIA for any help

I worked this out

In the view spec you need to do something like this:

 describe "users/index.html.haml" do
 ? before do

     # this is the bit you need
     view.stub!(:abc).and_return(whatever_your_helper_returns)
     # end of the bit you need

 ? ? render
 ? end
 ? it "stuff" do
 ? ? rendered.should have_selector(''whatever'')
 ? end

 end
