Scenarios

infer controller path
infer action
do not infer action in a partial

Given

a file named "spec/views/widgets/new.html.erb_spec.rb" with:

require "rails_helper"

RSpec.describe "widgets/new" do
  it "infers the controller path" do
    expect(controller.request.path_parameters[:controller]).to eq("widgets")
    expect(controller.controller_path).to eq("widgets")
  end
end

When

I run rspec spec/views

Then

the examples should all pass
