rspec users - Apr 2009 - rspec-rails fails to find a controller name

Hi,
	I have a problem that seems a bit strange. No matter how I specify the
controller name in a rails controller rspec I am always presented with

''HostController Retrieving /host via GET should redirect if not logged
in'' FAILED
Controller specs need to know what controller is being specified. You can
indicate this by passing the controller to describe():

  describe MyController do

or by declaring the controller''s name

  describe "a MyController" do
    controller_name :my #invokes the MyController
end

This is the result of running this command over this file

Command : spec -c -fs spec/controllers/host_controller_spec.rb
File:
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../spec_helper'')

describe HostController, "Retrieving /host via GET" do
  integrate_views
  controller_name :host
  it "should redirect if not logged in" do
    #session[:user] = nil
    #get :index
    #response.should redirect_to("/user/login")
  end
end

 In have tried this with and without the text string after the controller name
on the describe line. I have also tried it with and without the controller_name
directive. It always gives this message. What am I doing wrong?!?!?

Rails version 2.0.2

Rpec version 1.2.4 and 1.2.0
Rpsec-rails version 1.2.4 and 1.2.0

Thanks a lot if you can help in any way.

I assume you tried it with the 3 lines (including   get :index)  
uncommented

The oldest rails supported by rspec-1.2.x is rails-2.0.5. Your options
are to either upgrade your rails app to 2.0.5, which is what I''d
recommend (path of least resistance since you''re not crossing a minor
version boundary) or to downgrade rspec to pre 1.2.

Good luck.

Cheers,
David

BTW, I was able to reproduce the behaviour you describe with
rspec-1.2.4 and rails-2.0.2, so there is an incompatibility there
(i.e. it''s not something else that you''re missing or is
specific to
your particular app or environment)
