rspec test cannot be passed when render partial in layout

I have a problem stuck me couples of days, could anyone help me? Thanks very much. The problem is that rspec test cannot be passed when the layout contains :partial, once i removed the :partial, the rspec test passed successfully. I could not find out the reason. Below is my code: application.html.erb   <body>     <%= render :partial => 'shared/header' %>     <div id="wrap">       <div id="content">         <%= yield %>       </div>     </div>     <%= render :partial => 'shared/footer' %>   </body>

users_controller_spec.rb describe UsersController do   describe "Requesting /forgot_password using GET" do     it "should be successful" do       get :forgot_password     end   end end

would be nice to know if your page renders correctly when you access it with your browser. also post the code of the partial that's causing the error and of course the error itself. what's respec's output?

Thanks for your replying. the page render correctly since i would visit it via browser, and it works all right. in fact, there is nothing special in my partial, i pasted it below:

_footer.html.erb: <div id="footer-wrap">   <div id="footer">       <div class="bottom-links">         <div class="bottom-nav">           <ul>             <li><a href="">About Us</a></li>             <li><a href="">Privacy</a></li>             <li><a href="">Contact Us</a></li>             <li><a href="">Help</a></li>           </ul>         </div>       </div>   </div> </div>

and each error has same informationm which is "wrong number of arguments (3 for 1)"

which method is called with 3 arguments instead of 1? is there anymore information you can give us?

i just do not know which method is called with 3 arguments instead of 1, so i could not solve the problem. and i pasted the relevant code below: routes.rb: ... map.resources :users, :member => { :suspend => :get, :unsuspend => :get }

users_controller.rb: ...   # render new.rhtml   def new     @user = User.new   end

users_controller_spec.rb:    ...   describe "named routing" do     before(:each) do         get :new     end     it "should route new_user_path() to /users/new" do       new_user_path().should == "/users/new"     end end

new.html.erb: <div class="page-title"> <h1>Sign up as a new user</h1></div>

<% @user.password = @user.password_confirmation = nil %> <div id="signup-area">   <div class="left">   <% if flash[:error] %>     <div id="error">       <%= flash[:error] %>     </div>   <% end %>   <% form_for :user, :url => users_path, :html => {:class => 'bigform'} do |f| -%>     <div class="textfields">       <div class="clearfix"><%= label_tag 'login' %>       <%= f.text_field :login, :class=>"text" %><%= error_message_on "user", "login" %></div>

      <div class="clearfix"><%= label_tag 'email' %>       <%= f.text_field :email, :class=>"text" %>       <%= error_message_on "user", "email" %></div>

      <div class="clearfix"><%= label_tag 'password' %>       <%= f.password_field :password, :class=>"text" %>       <%= error_message_on "user", "password" %></div>

      <div class="clearfix"><%= label_tag 'password_confirmation', 'Confirm Password' %>       <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation, :class=>"text" %>       <%= error_message_on "user", "password_confirmation" %></div>     </div>     <div class="clearfix"><%= submit_tag 'Sign up' %></div>   <% end -%>   </div> </div>

The error is: ActionView::TemplateError in 'UsersController named routing should route new_user_path() to /users/new' wrong number of arguments (3 for 1)

PS: my rails version is 2.2, is there any more information needed?

it's hard to say what wenbt wrong. most likely you forgot to put a closing bracket somewhere or sth similar. i'd try to set a debugger into that test and go through it step by step (or better 'next' by 'next' *g*) until you can nail down which method fails.
