Hey guys. My ApplicationController rescues Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound errors like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base rescue_from Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound, :with => :resource_not_found protected def resource_not_found(error) flash[:alert] = t('errors.resource_not_found') redirect_to root_url end end Obviously, I need specs for this. However, I can't figure out how this should be specced. Should I create a shared example group that expects the flash-alert and redirect, and use it in every controller action that could potentially raise this error? This seems right, but will be verbose. Or, in each controller that could raise this error, should I create one example group that raises this error and expects the flash-alert and redirect? This seems right because the rescuing behaviour exists within the controller rather than each action. However, it ignores the possibility of an action rescuing the error. Should I create a dummy controller with an action that raises this error, and spec that? This would be akin to speccing ApplicationController, though indirectly. This method was my first inclination, but fails to provide specs for the other controllers that inherit the rescuing behaviour. How would you spec this? I'm all ears!
