Undefined method for a class in rspec

Question

The next RSpec 2 test.

describe "GET new" do describe "gets a report form" do xhr :get, :new, :post_id => @post response.should be_success end end 

gives this nice error:

undefined method xhr for #<Class:0xb5c72404> (NoMethodError)

Any idea what's wrong?

Answer 1

Turns out you need to use the it operator in the describe block. Then the error disappears. If you do not use the required sum of describe and it blocks, then RSpec produces all kinds of strange errors. This is the correct code:

 describe "GET new" do it "gets a report form" do xhr :get, :new, :post_id => @post response.should be_success end end
