That is by design. RSpec is about spec'ing things in isolation,
whereas cucumber is about spec'ing things end to end. RSpec controller
specs are about *controllers*, not views, so the presence and/or
validity of a view should not impact the controller spec.
If you want to use controller specs to fail when your views are
missing, you can use the integrate_views directive:
describe LoginController do
describe "GET index" do
integrate_views
it "should be successful" do
get 'index'
response.should be_success
end
end
end
That is available, but is not the rspec way.
