Question

How can I write a test to assert that the action new is rendered?

def method
  ...
  render :action => :new
end

I’m looking for something like the lines below, but to assert that the action was called, not the template:

assert_equal layout, @response.layout
assert_equal format, @request.format

I know I can’t do @response.action

Thanks in advance!

My original answer is wrong. As @Mohammad El-Abid indicated below, the correct method is:

assert_template :new

Original answer:

The view would be rendered, the action called.
Try this:

@controller.expects(:new)
