I actually did stub Order.find() but was getting a nil object error because params[:ids] was nil. I can't write
controller.download :ids => '1/2/3' in the controller spec, and get download, :ids => ids_string results in the following error message: NameError in 'Admin::OrdersController should split the params[:ids] string to create an array of id's to find for downloading' undefined local variable or method `download' for [RSpec example]:#<Class:0x34939e8> ./spec/controllers/admin/orders_controller_spec.rb:14: Al ----- Original Message ---- From: Jarkko Laine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: rspec-users <rspec-users@rubyforge.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 4, 2007 12:33:11 AM Subject: Re: [rspec-users] params not available for controller specs?

Why would you want to set params[:ids] to a mock? params values are always basically strings (or hashes/arrays of strings) and you can set them in the actual action call: get :foo, :ids => [1,2,3] Moreover, in your case Order.find should be the thing you want to stub. You don't want the finder call to go to the database, since you're speccing the controller behaviour here, not business logic. //jarkko -- Jarkko Laine http://jlaine.net http://dotherightthing.com http://www.railsecommerce.com http://odesign.fi _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
