rspec users - Sep 2007 - Odd response.body behavior

Hi all,

I''m having very odd behavior, but only with a few of my specs.

I''m checking the value of response.body and in most cases finding it  
to be the content of the body... but in some cases it''s the name of  
the template rendered!! There''s no rhyme or reason I can see, but  
obviously my tests fail for no reason when I expect the body to  
contain the content.

Any idea what is happening?

Thanks in advance!

Luke

Sorry to bump myself here: But this behavior is really messing my  
tests up. If anyone has any insight I''d really appreciate it.

Even in a debugger, the value of response.body is the name of the  
template rather than the content, but only in the test and only in a  
few cases. Works fine in dev.

Perhaps it''s a rails issue rather than an rspec issue?

I''m fairly certain this is a rails issue. When you see a response
object, it is the one provided by the Rails testing framework. In
fairness, there is some extension of response in rspec, but nothing
that changes the nature of response.body.

So I''d check w/ the rails list.
