We want the example names to express the intent of each example.
The before block in the "with valid id' context sets two expectations,

That's just silly. Patrick, please listen to both of us (and everyone else who
contributes to this list). What Phillip wrote about the difference between
mocks and stubs was dead on. I was commen

I would be glad to help in this way, but it will have to be later
today. And instead of using completely made-up code, I'll use some of
my real-world code and tests as an example. I'll gist them later,
unless one of the gurus comes along and provides enlightenment for you!

Well I can tell you that this syntax you demonstrated:

There is an alternate syntax that I'm using nearly exclusively at this
point, which is to pass a block along with the stub() and
should_receive() messages:
foo.stub(:bar) { "return value" }
foo.stub(:bar) { raise SomeError }
foo.stub(:bar) { yield "value" }
foo.stub(:bar) { throw :v
Welcome to RSpec, Patrick. For some of us, it's pretty rocky at first. I
started using it a couple of years ago with models, and understood that
well enough (I think). Then I came to controllers and I just couldn't
wrap my mind around it. I gave up for quite some time. When I came back

Hi Nick,
Thank you very much for your reply. One thing I am finding incredibly
frustrating with Rspec, is that I don't even know what questions to ask--
because I find the whole thing so confusing. So forgive me, but I am going to
break down your code and ask specific questions to hopefully gain

Hi,
I have this in my controller action:

and my spec fails:
NoMethodError in 'Admin::ShippingLabelsController should render a pdf

undefined method `address' for nil:NilClass

Wow that is weird.. I replied to the previous thread in my email
client but removed the subject-- as I assumed that was what kept
