rspec users - Nov 2007 - ''lazy'' url generation in view specs

Hi,

I would like to use the ''lazy'' style of url generation in my
views,
omitting parameters from my calls to url_for (and named route  
methods) that are then filled in from the current request parameters.

Example:
url_for(:action => ''index'') will fill in (:controller =>
''posts'') if
params[:controller] is ''posts''

However, this breaks my view specs because when they render the view  
there is no request from which to fill in the missing parameters. How  
can I stub/mock the request so that the ''lazy'' url-generation
works
in view spec? I tried a number of things, none of them working,  
including this:

@controller.stub!(:params).and_return({:controller =>  
''posts'', :action => ''show''})

I don''t think there is any way to do this yet. There is an open ticket
in the tracker:
