Hi, I have this in my controller action:
from_address = Setting.find_by_name("shipping_from_address").address and my spec fails: NoMethodError in 'Admin::ShippingLabelsController should render a pdf file' undefined method `address' for nil:NilClass yet in the console I can do: >> Setting.find_by_name("shipping_from_address").address => #<Address id: 1970, label: .... etc> and I get the address-- so I don't understand why it's failing in the spec.. ? ... Also, if I want to test that I am getting a pdf back, how is the best way to do that? I was doing: controller: respond_to do |format| format.pdf do render :template => 'admin/contacts/shipping_label' end spec: def do_get get :create, :format => :pdf end it "should render a pdf file" do do_get response.should render_template("admin/contacts/shipping_label") end -- but that gives me: 'Admin::ShippingLabelsController should render a pdf file' FAILED expected "admin/contacts/shipping_label", got nil /Users/patrick/coding/rails/matthew/spec/controllers/admin/shipping_labels_controller_spec.rb:11: thanks...
