rspec users - Dec 2011 - render_template on create and update action - unexpected result with namespaced controllers

All,

I''ve been having issues with my namespaced controllers and specs.  I
receive the following errors only on my create and update actions
(with invalid parameters) and only on my namespaced controllers.  My
non-namespaced controllers have similar specs and work well.  The
application works as expected, but the specs are reporting:


Failures:

  1) Management::CountriesController POST create with invalid params
re-renders the ''new'' template
     Failure/Error: response.should render_template(:new)
       expecting <"new"> but rendering with <"">
     # ./spec/controllers/management/countries_controller_spec.rb:
169:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>''

  2) Management::CountriesController PUT update with invalid params re-
renders the ''edit'' template
     Failure/Error: response.should render_template(:edit)
       expecting <"edit"> but rendering with
<"">
     # ./spec/controllers/management/countries_controller_spec.rb:
240:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>''



Here''s a gist to help my explanation:

I''m using the Devise/CanCan combo.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  I''ve been ignoring these for a while
and it''s time to fix them.

Cheers,
Adam

An empty response body tells me it''s redirecting. Couple ways to check
that:

1.) Use "puts" and "raise" to see if it even gets to the
`respond_with`
2.) Look at the test logs to see what it''s responding with.
3.) Use `response.response_code.should eq(200)`

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your reply.  I agree with your suggestions, however the 
response is fine.  Response code == 200 and nothing unusual in the logs.

Note that my non-namespaced controllers with similar tests behave as 
they should.  This weird issue only happens for my namespaced 
controllers.
