[rspec-users] undefined method: controller_name

With rspec 1.0.8 I have a spec in the directory: 
spec/units/controllers/application_controller_spec.rb

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../spec_helper''

class DummyController < ApplicationController
  def index
    raise "Prevent index from rendering"
  end
end

describe ApplicationController, "Handling errors in production", 
:behaviour_type => :controller do
  controller_name :dummy
 
  before(:each) do
    # set up request and response
    lambda { get :index }.should raise_error
  end
 
  it "should display ''file not found'' when a routing
error occurs" do
    
controller.rescue_action_in_public(ActionController::RoutingError.new("this
page does not exist"))
    response.should render_template("error/404") 
  end
end

and it works.


After updating to rspec revision 3136 and running script/generate rspec, 
I get the following error:

Is there a better way to write this spec in 3136?

Thanks,
Alvin.

Try :type instead and see if that works.

Yep.  I had a bunch of regressions with :behaviour_type => ..., which  
started to fail a few weeks ago.  Changing it to :type seemed to fix  
it up.
