rspec users - Jan 2008 - integrate_views is not executing my views

I wanted to use "integrate_views" as Ryan explains in his RailsCast
#71
(http://railscasts.com/episodes/71)

...but I can''t get it to work: the view code in not executed

I looked everywhere but I can''t understand what I am doing wrong.
Here is what I did:
I created a new application from scratch (Rails 2.0.2), added rspec and
rspec_on_rails plugins, and run
script/generate rspec_scaffold User name:string

This is my users_controller spec:

describe UsersController do
  fixtures :users
  integrate_views

  describe "handling GET /users" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get :index
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
end

I then added something wrong (on purpose) in index.html.erb  (<% WRONG
%>) so that when I visit /users I get a view error (undefined local
variable or method....)

But when I run the spec everything is ok and the test does NOT fail :-(
I can even trash the index.html.erb file and the test still passes

Try it without nesting:

describe UsersController, "handling GET /users" do
 fixtures :users
 integrate_views

 it "should be successful" do
   get :index
   response.should be_success
 end
end

If that works, then you''ve uncovered a bug with integrate_views not
working in nested example groups. If so, please report it to the
tracker:

Thanks,

You are God.
Thanks! You can''t imagine the amount of time we wasted on that one ;-)
