Hi
I bumped into a problem and tracked it down to this:
Form tag helpers in helpers do not seem to be testable. The helper
does actually work like it should if used in a view.
Example:
This helper:
#############
def form_builder
form_tag “foo” do
text_field_tag(“bar”)
end
end
And this spec:
#############
it “should make a form” do
form_builder.should have_tag(“form”)
end
throws:
#############
undefined method `output_buffer=’ for
#Spec::Rails::Example::HelperExampleGroup::Subclass_1:0x2670ac8
with trace:
#############
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/

form_tag_helper.rb:39:in `form_tag’
rspec and rspec-rails 1.1.11, rails 2.2.2
Any clues?
Thanks
