[rspec-users] describe AddressesController, "handling GET /addresses" do

[Sahyoun]

Hello,

I'm working with scaffold generated controller test code for handling GET
requests. Address is the model being tested. Address belongs_to Company,
Company has_many addresses.
In my addresses_controller I have:

before_filter :get_company

def index
    @addresses = @company.addresses.find(:all)
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.xml  { render :xml => @addresses }
    end
  end

  private
  def get_company
    @company = Company.find_by_id(params[:company_id])
  end


My controller spec code for handling  GET /addresses:

  before do
    @company = mock_model(Company)
    @addresses = mock("addresses")
    @company.stub!(:addresses).and_return(@addresses)
    Company.stub!(:find).and_return(@company)
  end

  def do_get
    get :index, :company_id => 1
  end

  it "should be successful" do
    do_get
    response.should be_success
  end
.............


All of my tests (4) fail:

4) NoMethodError in 'AddressesController handling GET /addresses should be
successful'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.addresses


Please, can someone explain why i'm getting nil.addresses?

Cheers!
Omar
