Assuming that there is a call like this in your controller @articles = current_user.articles
One way to do this is to stub out the controller.current_user to return a mock object of the current_user Then put an expectation on the current user that it's articles method gets called. (return a mocked collection of articles) Then check that @articles is set to the returned mocked collection of articles from current_user.articles phew... Ok So one way you might write this could be (This is untested...) it "should scope the articles to the currrent_user" do user = mock_model(User) articles = [mock_model(Article)] controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(user) user.should_receive(:articles).and_return(articles) get :index assigns[:articles].should == articles end Like I said though, that's not tested itself. If that's not exactly right... it's along the right track of an option that can work.
