I've searched and searched, and just can't find an answer on the list or 
elsewhere.  Forgive me if I'm missing something...

I've got the following bits of code:

### app/controllers/widget_layouts_controller.rb:
class WidgetLayoutsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @widget = Widget.find(params[:widget_id])
    @widget_layout = WidgetLayout.new
  end
end

### app/models/widget_layout.rb:
class WidgetLayout < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :widget
end

### app/models/widget.rb:
class Widget < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :widget_layout, :dependent => :destroy
end

### From config/routes.rb:
resources :widgets do
  resource :widget_layout
end

### spec/widget_layouts/new.html_spec.rb:
require "spec_helper"

describe "widget_layouts/new.html.erb" do
  it "should render the new widget layout form" do
    widget = stub_model(Widget)
    assign(params[:widget_id], widget)
    render
    rendered.should have_selector("form", :method => "post", :action => 
widget_widget_layout_path(widget))
  end
end

### app/views/widget_layouts/new.html.erb
<%= form_for @widget_layout, :url => widget_widget_layout_path(@widget) do |f| 
%>
        <%= f.submit "Submit Widget Layout Information" %>
<% end %>

Here's the error I get when running that spec:

widget_layouts/new.html.erb
  should render the new widget layout form (FAILED - 1)

Failures:
  1) widget_layouts/new.html.erb should render the new widget layout form
     Failure/Error: render
     No route matches {:controller=>"widget_layouts", :action=>"destroy"}

I believe this is because params[:widget_id] isn't assigned when I'm rendering 
new.html.erb.  I know that's an improper usage of #assign up there, but this is 
what I was trying to rectify (obviously incorrectly...)  I'm confused as to how 
to mock/stub and specify parent resource(s) when trying to test views of 
children resources.  What should I be doing differently?

Also--not an RSpec question--that's the only way I can get that #form_for call 
to work correctly.  Everywhere I looked, it seemed that I could simply use:

form_for [...@widget, @widget_layout] do |f| %>

but alas, all I get is the following errors:
_______________________

Any chance I might get some help on this one while I'm at it? :)
