This made testing my custom form builder tag much easier. However, for some reason, my custom form tag wasn't getting the object from the Builder. I had to do something like this: <code>f.custom_field :shortname, :object => @object</code> This got it working in Rspec. Thanks! Great article, thank you!

You’re totally right, there aren’t enough articles about how wonderful RSpec is. I’m hoping that the Rails team may eventually make RSpec a first-class citizen, and perhaps the default testing framework for Rails.

That said, I have nothing against Test::Unit, but after having worked with RSpec a while now, I just seems so much more expressive and declarative.
