inherit_views question (perhaps a little off topic)

[Tim Harding]

Hi,

is there and inherit_views group? If so where?

If not I wonder if you might not mind a question here.

When I make a call to display an inherited view from a functional test
or a browser it is working fine:

GET :edit, :id => 1 or from a browser http://localhost:3000/admin/works/1/edit

things go very well.

When I call GET /admin/works/1/edit from an integration test or from
an rspec user story inherited partial templates are not found.

views/base/edit.html.erb
views/base/_action_bar.html.erb
views/works/_form.html.erb

edit.html renders action_bar and form

if i create views/works/action_bar things are all okay from the
integration test.


see: http://pastie.org/217977 for the error.


thank you.

more to this:

render_partial_with_inherit_views is called from the within the development server context but not from an integration test context.

Hi Tim,

This is a bug in rspec.

http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/5645/tickets/391-rspec-rails-render_partial-view-extensions-issue

Basically, rspec munges render_partial so that it short circuits any aliases.

Here's a patch that fixes the issue on rspec

http://github.com/ianwhite/rspec-rails/commit/f6ac8cc8c37b9adf7167aa4cae96c1a2c49b44ab

Cheers,

Ian
