Hey Andy,
You can define a controller method on the fly in order to test this
out. I just did a quick experiment to demonstrate it...obviously
modify to suit your needs.
application_controller_spec.rb:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'
describe "a before_filter" do
class FooController < ApplicationController
def index; render :text => "foos"; end
end
controller_name :foo
it "should work" do
get :index
assigns[:assigned].should_not be_blank
end
end
application.rb:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :set_assigned
def set_assigned
@assigned = "yay"
end
end
