Hi,
I'm new to RSpec. I have a question about how to write controller specs.
Here's a code generated by scaffolding (with Rspec).
def do_get
get :index
end
it "should be successful" do
do_get
response.should be_success
end
it "should render index template" do
do_get
response.should render_template('index')
end
it "should find all books" do
Book.should_receive(:find).with(:all).and_return([EMAIL PROTECTED])
do_get
end
it "should assign the found books for the view" do
do_get
assigns[:books].should == [EMAIL PROTECTED]
end
end

What I don't understand is that, sometimes, "get" is done before an
expectation(i.e., a line that contains "should"), but other times, the order
is the opposite.
In the third spec above, the sentence that has "should" comes first and
do_get later. In my view, "get :index" needs to be done first to trigger
"index" action. And the "index" action should trigger
"Book.should_receive(:find).....". I'm a bit confused about all of this.
Mike
