I need to update something for a logged in user. My controller code for the action is:

def som_action
  @_current_user.save_choice(params)
end

My application_controller.rb contains the following:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :current_user

  def current_user
    @_current_user ||= session[:current_user_id] &&
      User.find(session[:current_user_id])
  end
end

In my controller spec, I am trying something like this:

  let(:user) { mock_model("User", :id => 1001) }
  let(:item) { mock_model("Item", :id => 1010) }

  before(:each) do
    controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(user)
  end

  describe "POST create" do
    context "when the user chooses an item" do
      it 'creates a item_choice' do
        ItemChoice.should_receive(:new).
          with("requester_id" => user.id, "item_id" => item.id).
          and_return(item_choice)
        post :create, :item_choice => { "item_id" => item.id }
        response.should redirect_to(home_path)
      end
    end
  end


I get nil object error when I run this spec, as there is no @_current_user set. How do I stub such that there is a user with an id to do this?
