<p>I was working on some rspec views tests and I've noticed that partial renderization can be tricky.</p> <p>For example, if we have an index page that renders the objects list in a partial template.</p> <p>In my case I was testing using a 'GivingClub' list:</p>
<pre><span class="ident">describe</span> <span class="punct">"</span><span class="string">giving_clubs</span><span class="punct">"</span> <span class="keyword">do</span>
<span class="ident">before</span> <span class="keyword">do</span>
<span class="attribute">@giving_clubs</span> <span class="punct">=</span> <span class="punct">[</span><span class="ident">mock_model</span><span class="punct">(</span><span class="constant">GivingClub</span><span class="punct">)]</span>
<span class="ident">assigns</span><span class="punct">[</span><span class="symbol">:giving_clubs</span><span class="punct">]</span> <span class="punct">=</span> <span class="attribute">@giving_clubs</span>
<span class="keyword">end</span>
<span class="ident">it</span> <span class="punct">"</span><span class="string">expect render giving clubs list</span><span class="punct">"</span> <span class="keyword">do</span>
<span class="ident">template</span><span class="punct">.</span><span class="ident">expect_render</span><span class="punct">(</span><span class="symbol">:partial</span> <span class="punct">=></span> <span class="punct">"</span><span class="string">/giving_clubs/list</span><span class="punct">",</span> <span class="symbol">:locals</span> <span class="punct">=></span> <span class="punct">{</span> <span class="symbol">:giving_clubs</span> <span class="punct">=></span> <span class="attribute">@giving_clubs</span> <span class="punct">})</span>
<span class="ident">render</span> <span class="punct">"</span><span class="string">/giving_clubs/index</span><span class="punct">"</span>
<span class="keyword">end</span>
<span class="keyword">end</span>
</pre>
<p>Do not forget the assigns before call template.expect_render. Locals works fine in this way.</p>
