I have a GroupController class that inherits from a SecuredController which have a before filter (before_filter :login_required). This is using the restul authentication system. I want to mock out the login_required method so that my GroupController actions don't get redirected to /sessions/new but I cant figure it out. Here is what I have so far that doesn't work. Any help would be most appreciated.
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper' describe GroupsController do before(:each) do # mock and stub the Group model methods @group = mock_model(Group) Group.stub!(:search_with_paginate).and_return(@group) # since this is a secured controller, we have to mock the security system too @current_user = mock_model(User, :id => 1) self.stub!(:login_required).and_return(:false) self.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@current_user) end def do_get get :index end it "should be successful" do assigns[:page] = 1 assigns[:search] = "" do_get puts response.headers response.should be_success end end The error I get is NoMethodError in 'GroupsController should be successful' You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]= _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
