Whence "post" in a description?

Testing RSpec
1

I’m having the exact problem described in this earlier post:
http://www.nabble.com/Odd-response.body-behavior-to12837556.html#a12837556

That is, after a post, response.body is just the controller/view string
(“user/login” in my case).

Failing to find any answer on the web, I’m trying to trace execution,
but
hitting a bit of a snag. I’m tracing the ancestry of self inside a test
example to see where the “post” function is actually defined. I’m
getting a
hit on Spec::Rails::Example::FunctionalExampleGroup, but I cannot find
where
it is defined in this module!
???

I’m having the same problem. Did you ever solve this? I’m using Rails
1.2.6 - I recently ran a conversion plugin to convert my Test::Unit
tests to Rspec. Everything is working fine except this - response.body
just returns the template name.

Test::Unit:
xhr(:post, :add_to_cart_xhr, …)
assert_match(/Quantity is not a number/, @response.body) # <–passes

Rspec
xhr(:post, :add_to_cart_xhr, …)
response.body.should match(/Quantity is not a number/) #<–fails

Found the problem. Was not calling integrate_views at the start of the
describe block.
