Trying to generate rspec test for Controllers

Question

I type:

rails g rspec:controller application

But nothing appears in the spec file?

Answer 1

If you type script/rails generate, the only RSpec generator you'll actually see is rspec:install. That's because RSpec is registered with Rails as the test framework, so whenever you generate application components like models, controllers, etc, RSpec specs are generated instead of Test::Unit tests.

rails g rspec:integration [name]

1. controller
2. helper
3. install
4. integration
5. mailer
6. model
7. observer
8. scaffold
9. view

example:

 => rails g rspec:integration controller
 => create  spec/requests/controllers_spec.rb
