rspec users - May 2007 - Just upgraded to 1.0.0, should render_text isn''t working for me

I finally got around to upgrading from 0.8.2 (!!).  I had a spec which
looked like

specify "should render abc123" do
  controller.should_render :text => "abc123"
  get :key
end

With 1.0.0, the new spec is

it "should render abc123" do
  get :key
  response.should render_text("abc123")
end

However it doesn''t work, giving me the error:
undefined method `render_text'' for
#<#<Class:0x32ebdac>:0x381a454>

I installed the 1.0.0 rails plugin, and ran script/generate rspec
again.  Any ideas as to what''s wrong?

Try have_text instead of render_text.

Alright, that worked.  The docs at
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/controllers.html
reference render_text.

It seems like a lot of the docs may be out of date...I''m unable to
convert my helper specs at this point.
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/writing/helpers.html
shows one example using helper_name and one without it.  Unfortunately
if I don''t use helper_name it says that my helper methods
aren''t
defined, but if I use helper_name then it turns out helper_name itself
isn''t defined.

If you could help me get these issues sorted out I''d be more than
happy to update the docs accordingly.

Simply saying describe MyHelper should include the MyHelper module
directly in the specs - provided you have put your specs under
spec/helpers.

Is this where you''re keeping them? And what OS are you on?

I was just running the specs with ruby... "ruby my_helper.rb", and it
was having those problems.  When I ran it with script/spec it ran
fine.
