rspec users - Nov 2006 - assigns in trunk

Hello,

I used the rspec_resource_generator to generate a set of specs, which  
produces quite a few specs that contain something like:

assigns(:customer).should == @customer

running this gives the error:

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
./spec/controllers/customers_controller_spec.rb:23:in `assigns''


In the rspec rails plugin trunk (revision 1126), in /lib/spec/rails/ 
context/controller.rb, assigns is defined as:

   def assigns
         @ivar_proxy ||= Spec::Rails::IvarProxy.new @controller
   end

whereas if i get the tagged version for 0_7_2  it was defined thus:

def assigns(key=nil)
           return assigns[key] unless key.nil?
          @ivar_proxy ||= Test::Rails::IvarProxy.new(controller)
end


So, if I change the code in my spec to

assigns[:customer].should == @customer

it works.

Is this the right thing to do at the moment for the trunk version of  
rspec and the plugin?

Thanks

Marcus

Yes. That''s in the documentation that will be part of the next
release. The plugin has always worked treating assigns as a hash. I
made it stop working using parens because one part of the system was
allowing parens and the another one wasn''t. I wanted to unify them.
