Hey gang,
I have this dead-simple method defined in a helper:
def add_category_link(name)
link_to_function name do |page|
page.insert_html :bottom, :categories, :partial =>
''category'', :object => Category.new
end
end
Where, and mostly how, would I spec this? I haven''t been able to find
how to stub the rjs in a helper spec, so I''d appreciate any pointers
whatsoever..
thanks!

However, I am getting an error about ''nil.render'' now, with this backtrace: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!

However, I am getting an error about ''nil.render'' now, with > this backtrace:Just for fun - try putting it in a view specs instead and include the helper: describe "FooHelper", :type => :view do include FooHelper # etc end It might be that view specs have services you need for this example that don''t exist in helper specs. If it works, then you can use that as a workaround for now and we know where the deficiency lies. If so, please submit a ticket at http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/.
