rspec users - Aug 2007 - assign local variable instead of instance variable.

Hello,

I have a view that generates a list of adverts with <%=  
render :partial => ''advert'', :collection => @adverts
%>

I have the render call described with  
@controller.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial =>  
''advert'', :collection => @adverts)

Bu when i was about to describe my partial i got stuck.

My partial _advert.rhtml:

<div id="advert_<%= advert.id %>">
	<h3><%=h advert.title %></h3>
	<p><%=h advert.description %></p>
</div>

And to describe that: http://pastie.textmate.org/91995

The problem is that (assigns[:advert] = advert) creates an instance  
variable and :collection => @adverts creates a local variable called  
advert.

Is there a way of assigning a local variables in a view/template from  
my description/spec?

Cheers!

I''m using "render :partial => ''some_partial'',
:object => @mock_object"
in those cases.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks Hans, that worked like a charm!

I did however choose :locals => { :advert => @mock_object } because i  
think it tells me in a much clearer way that i want to assign a local  
value to the view and also the name of the variable.

I do not know if it is possible but what about an assigns_local 
[:advert] => @mock_object ?

This is how it turned out: http://pastie.textmate.org/92166

Cheers!
