render_with_layout not working with RSpec 2 + Rails 3 + shoulda 2.11.3

[Amiruddin Nagri]

Hello,

I am trying to assert that my controller is rendered with particular layout file

  it "should render application layout" do
    get :index
    should render_with_layout('application')
  end

but it is giving error like

     undefined method `layout' for nil:NilClass
     # /Users/userX/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/activesupport-3.0.0/lib/active_support/whiny_nil.rb:48:in `method_missing'
     # /Users/userX/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/shoulda-2.11.3/lib/shoulda/action_controller/matchers/render_with_layout_matcher.rb:67:in `rendered_layouts'
     # /Users/userX/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/shoulda-2.11.3/lib/shoulda/action_controller/matchers/render_with_layout_matcher.rb:55:in `rendered_with_layout?'
     # /Users/userX/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/shoulda-2.11.3/lib/shoulda/action_controller/matchers/render_with_layout_matcher.rb:31:in `matches?'
     # ./spec/controllers/some_controller_spec.rb:6:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'


I have uploaded a sample app where the issue can be produced here -> http://github.com/anagri/shoulda_rspec_sample

What am I doing wrong ? is it a good idea to jump on Rails 3 while issues with a lot of essential plugins still being ironed out ?

Thanks,
Amiruddin Nagri

My 2cents: while upgrading my test suite I replaced all such cases with just
it { should render_template("layouts/application") }

Worked for me.
