Trying to do a simple controller test with RSpec 1.1.4 on Rails 2.1.0 –

it “should render index template” do  
do\_get  
response.should render\_template(‘index’)  
end

:: results in a

1. 

NoMethodError in ‘GroupsController handling GET /groups should render  
index template’  
undefined method `rendered\_file’ for  
#ActionController::TestResponse:0x1eb8f60

Meanwhile, NetBeans shows a deprecation warning with `render_template`,  
but  
changing it to the recommended form:  
response.should render :template =\> ‘index’

:: results in

1. 

NoMethodError in ‘GroupsController handling GET /groups should render  
index template’  
undefined method `render’ for  
#Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup::Subclass\_1::Subclass\_1:0x1701ab0

Anyone seen this before, and/or have any suggestions?

TIA!
