rspec users - Jun 2008 - Which "get" is being used in Controller spec

Hi,
I''m a bit puzzled with "get" in controller specs. When I
write,

it "should render index template" do
  get :index
  response.should render_template(:index)
end


Which "get" method is being used? I checked RDoc of RSpec and RSpec on
Rails, but didn''t find "get".
In Rails RDoc, I found the following "get"s.

get ActionController::Integration::Session
get ActiveResource::Connection
get ActiveResource::CustomMethods
get ActiveResource::CustomMethods::InstanceMethods

I''m not sure which one is working. But after playing a while, I noticed
"get" doesn''t take "path" as a parameter. For
example,

get "users"

doesn''t work. I also need to know about "post" because some
code I saw seems
to be passing
parameters like:

post :create :id => 1

Hi Mike,

the request methods used in Controller tests are defined in Rails:  
ActionController::TestProcess.
Rspec Rails Stories are basically Rails Integration tests and the  
methods used here are defined in Rails:  
ActionController::Integration::Session.
