Can I, as a human, view the RSpec rendered views, and if, so how?

Question

I would like to be able see the output from the path requested within one of my view specs. Rspec has access to the rendered view, but I would like access to it myself. Does anyone know how to actually view the rendered views?

If, like me, you either don't want to use capybara + launchy, or you can't get it to work, you can just do this:

    IO.write('/tmp/test.html', rendered)

... and if you're on a mac:

    `open /tmp/test.html`
