View Examples live in $RAILS_ROOT/spec/views/.
View Specs use Spec::Rails::Example::ViewExampleGroup, which provides access to views without invoking any of your controllers. See Spec::Rails::Expectations::Matchers for information about specific expectations that you can set on views.
describe "login/login" do before do render 'login/login' end it "should display login form" do response.should have_tag("form[action=/login]") do with_tag("input[type=text][name=email]") with_tag("input[type=password][name=password]") with_tag("input[type=submit][value=Login]") end end end
Renders a template for a View Spec, which then provides access to the result through the response.
render('/people/list') render('/people/list', :helper => MyHelper) render('/people/list', :helpers => [MyHelper, MyOtherHelper]) render(:partial => '/people/_address')
See Spec::Rails::Example::ViewExampleGroup for more information.

This provides the template. Use this to set mock expectations for dealing with partials
describe "/person/new" do it "should use the form partial" do template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => 'form') render "/person/new" end end
