rspec users - Jan 2007 - Using RESTful routes in controller tests

Why can''t I use the RESTful route helpers in my specs?
In my controller I''m doing a redirect: redirect_to list_path(:id =>
@item.list_id)
Now when I write: controller.should_redirect_to list_path(:id => 2)
I''m getting the following error:

NoMethodError in ''POST on /lists/2/items should redirect to index on
succesful POST''
You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.rewrite
(eval):19:in `list_path''
./spec/controllers/items_controller_spec.rb:36:

Finished in 0.114317 seconds

Writing "controller.should_redirect_to :controller =>
''lists'', :action
=> ''show'', :id => 2" works though.

Am I forgetting something?

Sounds like a bug/missing feature. Please submit a feature request at
Rubyforge, with a failing spec if you can.
