Another Quick Tip: Asserting view renders in a MonoRail controller test
This is another one of those “blog it so I can remember it” posts.
My last post about a similar tip was relating to asserting redirects in a MonoRail controller. This one deals with asserting which view is being rendered in your controller when only RenderView is called.
Controller Code
1: public class CheckoutController : BaseController
<pre style="padding-right: 0px;padding-left: 0px;font-size: 8pt;padding-bottom: 0px;margin: 0em;overflow: visible;width: 100%;color: black;border-top-style: none;line-height: 12pt;padding-top: 0px;font-family: consolas, 'Courier New', courier, monospace;border-right-style: none;border-left-style: none;background-color: #f4f4f4;border-bottom-style: none"><span style="color: #606060"> 2:</span> {</pre>
<pre style="padding-right: 0px;padding-left: 0px;font-size: 8pt;padding-bottom: 0px;margin: 0em;overflow: visible;width: 100%;color: black;border-top-style: none;line-height: 12pt;padding-top: 0px;font-family: consolas, 'Courier New', courier, monospace;border-right-style: none;border-left-style: none;background-color: white;border-bottom-style: none"><span style="color: #606060"> 3:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff">public</span> <span style="color: #0000ff">void</span> ValidateOrder(CheckoutOrderDTO orderToValidate)</pre>

Controller Test Code
1: Assert.AreEqual(@"checkoutreview", controller.SelectedViewName);
It’s a subtle difference from asserting redirects, because it doesn’t require the leading “/” or the “.rails” extension to be included.
