I have following method in my controller:

def method\_x  
…  
render :inline=\>’\<%= auto\_complete\_result(@messages, “hobby”)%\>’  
end

How can I verify in my controller spec that render :inline is called  
with the parameter given above ?

In the example in your controller spec:

controller.expect\_render(:inline =\>  
whatever\_result\_string\_you\_expect\_based\_on\_case)
