[rspec-users] How to test views with Nested Resources and Partials

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to rspec and I am running into a wall in testing my
views. I have a RESTful resource Contracts with a nested resource of
Line_items.

I am trying to figure out how to test the "edit" form of the
Line_items.
What complicates this is the nested routing and how to account for it,
and that there is a partial form (_form.haml) that both the edit.haml
and new.haml views use (app/views/line_items).

My spec keeps failing and it seems to be from a routing issue. I''m
pretty sure template.expect_render/template.stub_render should be in
there somewhere, but that just generates more errors.

I am running edge rails and edge rspec. My other spec''s are working
fine.

See the output from running the spec and the associated files below
(edit.haml_spec.rb, edit.haml, _form.haml)

Thanks for your help,
Troy
