    <p>I'm trying to test that "static" pages (they're ERB, but get cached), generated through rails, don't render any stray flash notices left over by the authentication system (Devise) or wherever else.</p> <p>I've tried writing this controller spec, but it appears that response.body only renders the template, not its layouts?</p> <pre><code> describe "so that static caching can be used" do render_views specify "flash notices are not rendered" do # edit: the following flash lines don't do anything # it's not the right flash object, this one is intended for # inspecting after request not setting before request flash[:notice] = "flash boo" flash[:error] = "flash boo" flash[:alert] = "flash boo" get :show, :page =&gt; 'privacy_policy' response.body.should have_content('flash boo') end end class StaticPagesController &lt; ApplicationController layout 'master' def show response.headers['Cache-Control'] = "public, max-age=#{6.hours}" render "static_pages/#{params[:page]}" end end </code></pre> <p>I've tried changing to a layout which does render flash notices, and even inserting the text into the layout template, but can't make the spec fail. </p> <p>Is there a way to ask rspec to render the template with the appropriate layouts as well?</p> <p>Is a controller spec the wrong way to try and do this? It seems out of place, as it's more to do with which layouts are being used, and their contents, but the rendering process starts at the controller, it receives the result, and I can manipulate the flash hash contents before rendering.</p> <p>Versions: rails (3.0.10), rspec-rails (2.6.1), rspec-core (2.6.4)</p> <p>Thanks, Nick</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
