rspec users - Jan 2010 - "RESTful" controller specs in rails

So, what''s the awesome sauce everyone is using for this? In the past
I''ve used shared behaviors, and rspec_on_rails_on_crack to solve all
the repetition in the controller specs, but I''ve been away from rspec
for a while, and the controller specs in the rails project I''m working
on are a mess. So? what''s the best/recommended approach these days?

Cheers,

I use resource_controller, and then don''t need to write controller
specs because it''s all boiler-plate.  If I add any custom behavior that
needs more focused testing than cucumber provides, I can just write a couple
specs to cover it.

Ditto: I use resources_controller (note different name!), which already has
comprehensive tests, and only write specs for any non-boilerplate behaviour
which I add.
