rspec users - Nov 2006 - include Helper in context?

Brandon,

can you get your Helpers to work in rspec 0.7 ?  I''m including them in 
the context but the render fails to see it.

If you have it working, I''ll go back and bang my head against it some 
more, otherwise I''ll file a bug!

Many thanks,
  Jerry

context "account/login (view)" do 
  include StandardHelpers
  specify ''displays title "Login"'' do
    self.methods.should_include ''title''
    render ''account/login''
    response.should_have_tag ''h1'', :content =>
''Login''
  end
end
# fails with:
ActionView::TemplateError in ''account/login (view) displays title
"Login"''
undefined method `title'' for
#<#<Class:0xb73154ac>:0xb7314f70>
On line #1 of app/views/account/login.rhtml

    1: <% title ''Login'' %>		(a yield block in the
layout)

Note that methods.should_include ''title'' passes!

Is this a view spec or a helper spec? If it''s a view spec, it must be
in a views directory:

spec/views/**/*_spec.rb

http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/index.html

Let us know if that solves your problem.

Thanks,
David

It''s a view spec and it is now in spec/views/account/login_spec.rb; but
still fails :-( . I also do not know what is actually performing the 
render - what should I be examining in the debugger?  I''ve looked at 
self (within specify) and extended it manually with the helper module 
but to no avail.

I have also tried this:

class X
  include StandardHelpers
end

context "Given a fresh login" do
  include StandardHelpers  

  specify ''the account/login view should ask for the user\''s
email'' do
    X.new.should_respond_to ''title''    
    render ''account/login''
    response.should_have_tag ''hi'', :content =>
''Login''
  end
end


which still fails on the render but (presumably) the 
"X.new.should_respond_to ''title''" has worked which
at least shows that
StandardHelpers are available to be included.

Weird.

BTW:

setup do
  self.extend(StandardHelpers)
end

doesn''t work either :-( .

Many thanks,
  Jerry

PS: making it a controller spec and calling integrate_views WORKS FINE.

(Sounds of quiet sobbing)
