[rspec-users] Can I construct the controller myself in a controller spec?

[Perryn Fowler]

Hi

I am experimenting with Constructor based dependency injection for
rails controllers.

So I have something like this

class LoginSessionsController < ApplicationController

  def initialize(authenticator =  TheRealAuthenticator)
    @authenticator = authenticator
  end

 ....
end


The plan was to override the authenticator used when testing with something like

describe LoginSessionsController.new(MyMockAuthenticator) do
   ......
end

but rspec seems to insist on constructing the controller itself

Is there a way to do this I am missing?
