Controller examples in Spec::Rails used to implicitly raise errors by overriding rescue_action like this:

<code>def rescue_action(e) do |e| raise e; end</code>

This requires that you explicitly override rescue_action in your controllers if you want to see errors being raised. To make this a bit easier, I just added a new method (trunk r2041 – will be released in 1.0.4) for controller examples that lets you do this:

<code>describe SomeController do
before(:each) do
  raise_controller_errors
end
...
end
</code>

This causes the rescue_action above to get defined on the controller class at runtime. And to make it even easier, spec/spec_helper.rb now calls this by default:

<code>Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
...
config.before(:each, :behaviour_type => :controller) do
  raise_controller_errors
end
...
end
</code>

So rescue_action will be defined by default, but you roll your own by deleting those lines in spec_helper.rb.
