rspec users - Jun 2010 - [Rails] Can't get controller test working with RSpec 2 and edge Rails 3

Not sure if this is a Rails 3 issue or an RSpec 2 issue, but I can''t
seem to
get a standard controller test working - it seems that the
''get'' method
can''t be found.

I have a controller test that looks like this (named
"discrepancies_controller_spec.rb" in spec/controllers directory):

require ''spec_helper''

describe DiscrepanciesController do
  before :each do
    Discrepancy.delete_all
  end

  it "resolves a discrepancy" do
discrepancy = Discrepancy.create(:my_number=>"12345",
:status=>"Open")

get :resolve, :id => discrepancy.id
 retrieved_discrepancy = Discrepancy.find_by_my_number("12345")
retrieved_discrepancy.status.should == "Resolved"
  end
end

(Yes, I''m aware of the security implications of modifying data with an
HTTP/GET - that''s a separate issue...)
When I run it with rake, I get the following error:

1) DiscrepanciesController resolves a discrepancy
    Failure/Error: Unable to find C to read failed line
    undefined method `get'' for
#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1:0xc9170d0 @__memoized={}>
    # ./spec/controllers/discrepancies_controller_spec.rb:38* (ignore the
line number, commented out code was removed from the sample)*
    #
C:/Users/Patrick_Gannon/.bundle/ruby/1.8/bundler/gems/rails-16a5e918a06649ffac24fd5873b875daf66212ad-master/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:212:in
`inject''
    # C:/Ruby187/bin/rake:19:in `load''
    # C:/Ruby187/bin/rake:19

I can manage to test the controller action by instantiating the controller
myself and calling the controller action directly, and it works, but its
ugly because I have to mock out things like ''respond_to'' and
''params''.

Other pertinent information: I am running Windows 7 32-bit, Ruby 1.8.7

I''m surprised this is the first time this has come up with rspec-2, but
here we are :)

This is a path-separator bug that I''ll resolve in the next release. For
now, you can do this in your controller specs:

describe DiscrepanciesController do
  include RSpec::Rails::ControllerExampleGroup

That should work fine.

If you want to do a more global workaround, add this to your spec_helper config:

RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.include RSpec::Rails::ControllerExampleGroup, :example_group => {
:file_path => /\bspec[\\\/]controllers[\\\/]/ }
end

HTH,
David
