Thanks for the insight. After poking around a little with debugger I
can see that the controller has access to current_user, but the spec
tests do not. So I copied the helper methods into a module and
included them in the spec_helper. Now the tests have access to
current_user. However, I still can't seem to get a should_receive
expectation work for the build method without mocking everything out.
Any ideas on what I'm missing.
describe FollowsController do
before(:each) do
@user = User.make
login_as(@user)
end
describe "POST create" do
it "should build a follow" do
current_user.follows.should_receive(:build)
post :create, :followed_id => "999"
end
end
end
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'FollowsController POST create
should build a follow'
expected :build with (any args) once, but received it 0 times
