Thanks Pat. I think I'm confusing two issues. 1) How to test before filters for something like authentication 2) How to test functions provided in the application controller I'm not putting the before filter in the application.rb, I'm likely to be using it to protect various actions in the app. Is there a way to to call methods directly within the application.rb, spec them there and then sub for functionality in the other controllers? Andy PS Your 'controller spec' blog post was the 'light-going-on-in-my-head' moment for RSpec.
