-    # Macro stubs makes stubs and expectations easier, more readable and DRY.
-    #
-    # == Example
-    #
-    # Let's jump off to an example:
-    #
-    #   describe ProjectsController do
-    #     describe :get => :show, :id => 37 do
-    #       expects :find, :on => Project, :with => '37', :returns => proc { mock_project }
-    #
-    #       should_assign_to :project, :with => proc { mock_project }
-    #       should_render_template 'show'
-    #
-    #       describe Mime::XML do
-    #         should_assign_to :project
-    #         should_respond_with_content_type Mime::XML
-    #       end
-    #     end
-    #   end
-    #
-    # See how the spec is readable: a ProjectsController responding to get show
-    # expects :find on Project which a mock project and then should assign to
-    # project and render template 'show'.
-    #
-    # Each macro before asserting will check if an action was already performed and
-    # if not, it runs the expectations and call the action.
-    #
-    # In other words, should assign to macro is basically doing:
-    #
-    #   it 'should assign to project' do
-    #     Project.should_receive(:find).with('37').and_return(mock_project)
-    #     get :show, :id => '37'
-    #     assigns(:project).should == mock_project
-    #   end
-    #
-    # On the other hand, should render template is doing something like this:
-    #
-    #   it 'should render template show' do
-    #     Project.stub!(:find).and_return(mock_project)
-    #     get :show, :id => '37'
-    #     response.should render_template('show')
-    #   end
-    #
-    # Now comes the first question: how each macro knows if they should perform
-    # expectations or stubs?
-    #
-    # By default, only should_assign_to macro performs expectations. You can change
-    # this behavior sending :with_stubs or :with_expectations as options:
-    #
-    #   should_assign_to       :project, :with_stubs => true
-    #   should_render_template 'show', :with_expectations => true
-    #
-    # This also works in the rspec way:
-    #
-    #   it { should assign_to(:project).with_stubs            }
-    #   it { should render_tempalte('show').with_expectations }
-    #
-    # == mock_models
-    #
-    # You don't have to play with proc all the time. You can call mock_models which
-    # creates a class method that simply returns a proc and a instance method that
-    # do the actual mock. In other words, it creates:
-    #
-    #    def self.mock_project
-    #      proc { mock_project }
-    #    end
-    #
-    #    def mock_project(stubs={})
-    #      @project ||= mock_model(Project, stubs)
-    #    end
-    #
-    # Then you can replace those lines:
-    #
-    #    expects :find, :on => Project, :with => '37', :returns => proc { mock_project }
-    #    should_assign_to :project, :with => proc { mock_project }
-    #
-    # For:
-    #
-    #    expects :find, :on => Project, :with => '37', :returns => mock_project
-    #    should_assign_to :project, :with => mock_project
-    #
-    # = Give me more!
-    #
-    # If you need to specify the describe description, you can also do:
-    #
-    #   describe 'my description' do
-    #     get :show, :id => 37
-    #
-    # Which is the same as above.
-    #
-    # Things start to get even better when we start to talk about nested resources.
-    # After our ProjectsController is created, we want to create a TasksController:
-    #
-    #   describe TasksController do
-    #     params :project_id => '42' #=> define params for all requests
-    #
-    #     # Those two expectations get inherited in all describe groups below
-    #     expects :find_by_title, :on => Project, :with => '42', :returns => mock_project
-    #     expects :tasks, :and_return => Task
-    #
-    #     describe :get => :show, :id => '37' do
-    #       expects :find, :with => '37', :and_return => mock_task
-    #
-    #       should_assign_to :project, :task
-    #       should_render_template 'show'
-    #     end
-    #   end
-    #
-    # As you noticed, you can define parameters that will be available to all requests,
-    # using the method <tt>params</tt>.
-    #
-    # Finally, if you used expects chain like above, but need to write a spec by
-    # hand you can invoke the action and expectations with run_expectations!,
-    # run_stubs! and run_action!. Examples:
-    #
-    #   describe :get => :new do
-    #     expects :new, :on => Project, :returns => mock_project
-    #
-    #     it "should do something different" do
-    #       run_action!
-    #       # do you assertions here
-    #     end
-    #   end
-    #
-    # = Performance!
-    #
-    # Remarkable comes with a new way to speed up your tests. It perform the action
-    # inside a before(:all), so you can do:
-    #
-    #   describe "responding to GET show" do
-    #     get! :show, :id => 37
-    #
-    #     should_assign_to :task
-    #     should_render_template :show
-    #   end
-    #
-    # Or in the compact way:
-    #
-    #   describe :get! => :show, :id => 37
-    #
-    # The action will be performed just once before asserting the assignment and
-    # the template. If any error happens while performing the action rspec will
-    # output an error but ALL the examples inside the example group (describe) won't
-    # be run.
-    #
-    # By now, the bang methods works only when integrate_views are true and this is
-    # when you must have the bigger performance gain.
-    #
-    # This comes with some rspec and rspec rails tweakings. So if you want to do
-    # something before the action is performed (stubs something or log someone in
-    # session), you have to do it giving a block to the action method:
-    #
-    #   get! :show, :id => 37 do
-    #     login_as(mock_user)
-    #   end
-    #
-    # You can still use the compact way and give the block:
-    #
-    #   describe :get => :show, :id => 37 do
-    #     get! do
-    #       login_as(mock_user)
-    #     end
-    #   end

+  module ActionController
+
+    # Macro stubs makes stubs and expectations easier, more readable and DRY.
+    #
+    # == Example
+    #
+    # Let's jump off to an example:
+    #
+    #   describe ProjectsController do
+    #     describe :get => :show, :id => 37 do
+    #       expects :find, :on => Project, :with => '37', :returns => proc { mock_project }
+    #
+    #       should_assign_to :project, :with => proc { mock_project }
+    #       should_render_template 'show'
+    #
+    #       describe Mime::XML do
+    #         should_assign_to :project
+    #         should_respond_with_content_type Mime::XML
+    #       end
+    #     end
+    #   end
+    #
+    # See how the spec is readable: a ProjectsController responding to get show
+    # expects :find on Project which a mock project and then should assign to
+    # project and render template 'show'.
+    #
+    # Each macro before asserting will check if an action was already performed and
+    # if not, it runs the expectations and call the action.
+    #
+    # In other words, should assign to macro is basically doing:
+    #
+    #   it 'should assign to project' do
+    #     Project.should_receive(:find).with('37').and_return(mock_project)
+    #     get :show, :id => '37'
+    #     assigns(:project).should == mock_project
+    #   end
+    #
+    # On the other hand, should render template is doing something like this:
+    #
+    #   it 'should render template show' do
+    #     Project.stub!(:find).and_return(mock_project)
+    #     get :show, :id => '37'
+    #     response.should render_template('show')
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Now comes the first question: how each macro knows if they should perform
+    # expectations or stubs?
+    #
+    # By default, only should_assign_to macro performs expectations. You can change
+    # this behavior sending :with_stubs or :with_expectations as options:
+    #
+    #   should_assign_to       :project, :with_stubs => true
+    #   should_render_template 'show', :with_expectations => true
+    #
+    # This also works in the rspec way:
+    #
+    #   it { should assign_to(:project).with_stubs            }
+    #   it { should render_tempalte('show').with_expectations }
+    #
+    # == mock_models
+    #
+    # You don't have to play with proc all the time. You can call mock_models which
+    # creates a class method that simply returns a proc and a instance method that
+    # do the actual mock. In other words, it creates:
+    #
+    #    def self.mock_project
+    #      proc { mock_project }
+    #    end
+    #
+    #    def mock_project(stubs={})
+    #      @project ||= mock_model(Project, stubs)
+    #    end
+    #
+    # Then you can replace those lines:
+    #
+    #    expects :find, :on => Project, :with => '37', :returns => proc { mock_project }
+    #    should_assign_to :project, :with => proc { mock_project }
+    #
+    # For:
+    #
+    #    expects :find, :on => Project, :with => '37', :returns => mock_project
+    #    should_assign_to :project, :with => mock_project
+    #
+    # = Give me more!
+    #
+    # If you need to specify the describe description, you can also do:
+    #
+    #   describe 'my description' do
+    #     get :show, :id => 37
+    #
+    # Which is the same as above.
+    #
+    # Things start to get even better when we start to talk about nested resources.
+    # After our ProjectsController is created, we want to create a TasksController:
+    #
+    #   describe TasksController do
+    #     params :project_id => '42' #=> define params for all requests
+    #
+    #     # Those two expectations get inherited in all describe groups below
+    #     expects :find_by_title, :on => Project, :with => '42', :returns => mock_project
+    #     expects :tasks, :and_return => Task
+    #
+    #     describe :get => :show, :id => '37' do
+    #       expects :find, :with => '37', :and_return => mock_task
+    #
+    #       should_assign_to :project, :task
+    #       should_render_template 'show'
+    #     end
+    #   end
+    #
+    # As you noticed, you can define parameters that will be available to all requests,
+    # using the method <tt>params</tt>.
+    #
+    # Finally, if you used expects chain like above, but need to write a spec by
+    # hand you can invoke the action and expectations with run_expectations!,
+    # run_stubs! and run_action!. Examples:
+    #
+    #   describe :get => :new do
+    #     expects :new, :on => Project, :returns => mock_project
+    #
+    #     it "should do something different" do
+    #       run_action!
+    #       # do you assertions here
+    #     end
+    #   end
+    #
+    # = Performance!
+    #
+    # Remarkable comes with a new way to speed up your tests. It perform the action
+    # inside a before(:all), so you can do:
+    #
+    #   describe "responding to GET show" do
+    #     get! :show, :id => 37
+    #
+    #     should_assign_to :task
+    #     should_render_template :show
+    #   end
+    #
+    # Or in the compact way:
+    #
+    #   describe :get! => :show, :id => 37
+    #
+    # The action will be performed just once before asserting the assignment and
+    # the template. If any error happens while performing the action rspec will
+    # output an error but ALL the examples inside the example group (describe) won't
+    # be run.
+    #
+    # By now, the bang methods works only when integrate_views are true and this is
+    # when you must have the bigger performance gain.
+    #
+    # This comes with some rspec and rspec rails tweakings. So if you want to do
+    # something before the action is performed (stubs something or log someone in
+    # session), you have to do it giving a block to the action method:
+    #
+    #   get! :show, :id => 37 do
+    #     login_as(mock_user)
+    #   end
+    #
+    # You can still use the compact way and give the block:
+    #
+    #   describe :get => :show, :id => 37 do
+    #     get! do
+    #       login_as(mock_user)
+    #     end
