rspec users - Apr 2007 - getting controller specs to work on edge

I''m using edge spec, edge rspec_on_rails, edge rails.  I just switched
to
edge and ran the translator tool and I''m trying to get everything to
pass
again.  One of my issues is getting render back up and working for my
controller specs, here''s an example:

describe "Requesting /users using GET" do
  controller_name :users

  setup do
    @user = mock_model(User)
    User.stub!(:find).and_return(@user)
  end

  it "should render index.rhtml" do
    response.should render_template(''index'')
    do_get
  end
end

When I run that via rake spec:controllers I get:

NoMethodError in ''Requesting /users using GET should render
index.rhtml''
You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.first_render
.../vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/matchers/render_template.rb:12:in
`matches?''

Originally, after the translator, the "it" section was:

  it "should render index.rhtml" do
    controller.should render_template(''index'')
    do_get
  end

But that gave me

NoMethodError in ''Requesting /users using GET should render
index.rhtml''
undefined method `rendered_file'' for #<UsersController:0x31d93b0>
.../vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/matchers/render_template.rb:12:in
`matches?''

Can anyone see what I''m doing wrong??

Sorry - I solved it.  I needed to put the do_get line *before* the response
- so this works:

describe "Requesting /users using GET" do
  controller_name :users

  setup do
    @user = mock_model(User)
    User.stub!(:find).and_return(@user)
  end

  def do_get
    get :index
  end

  it "should render index.rhtml" do
    do_get
    response.should render_template(''index'')
  end

end
