Hi all,
I know that in general, view and controller tests should be isolated,
such that controller specs don't test views etc. However, I think
I've run into a situation that might be an exception.
My controller uses render_to_string to produce a chunk of HTML that it
passes to a model to be processed.
The controller then redirects the user to a different page. The
results of the render_to_string are not seen by the user.
Since the controller is calling render_to_string, I've been trying to
test that it is rendered correctly in my controller spec. Because a
controller spec normally doesn't render views, render_to_string just
returns the path of the view, rather than the rendered output. This
prevents me from testing the output of render_to_string in the
controller spec.
I can work around the issue by using integrate_views, and I guess
that's fine, but shouldn't render_to_string really work in controllers?
Thanks for your input,
e.
