Here is a simple 5 line test helper you can use to spec partials.
http://gist.github.com/51568
After adding it to your spec_helpers.rb, you should be able to do
something like this
@partial_result = request_partial("articles/my_partial")
Then @partial_result will be the html of that partial. It might be
worth wrapping it in a fake @response as well so you can use
have_selector & stuff on it. It just proxies the method call directly
to the partial() call on the controller so all the normal proxy calls
apply.
Helper could use a bit of improvement as well. If anyone wants to fork
the gist and add some improvements to the api (maybe a name change),
I'll collect it all and release it as merb_spec_partial plugin.
I'll try to figure out some way to move all the instance variables
defined in your spec to the fake controller so that your partial will
have access to those variables. Also need to figure out how to allow
setting all the other stuff like params, cookies, sessions, etc. But
it should be pretty easy.
