Ramblings

This is partly for myself, and partly for anyone after me…..

I have a controller generated via rspec_scaffold — yes, I know, it might not be what all the cool kids are doing, but it works.  I also have restful_authentication set up to use rspec.  So, when I go to add before_filter :login_required, autotest frowns at me.  After much trial and error, and googling (with false hits and things that didn’t work), I finally achieved a smiley face with the following added to my controller’s spec:

  before :each do
   @current_user = mock_model(User, :id => 1)
   controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@current_user)
   controller.stub!(:login_required).and_return(:true)
  end
  fixtures :users
