Not entirely sure how to go about mocking the association, but it's
going to be something along these lines (totally untested!)....
describe TicketsController, "handling POST /tickets" do
before do
@ticket = mock_model(Ticket, :save => true)
@user_tickets_association = mock("accociation")
@user_tickets_association.stub!(:build).and_return(@ticket)
@user = mock_model(User)
@user.stub!(:tickets).and_return(@user_tickets_association)
@ticket_params = {}
end
def do_post
post :create, :ticket => @params, :user_id => "user_id"
end
it "should find the user" do
User.should_receive(:find).with("user_id").and_return(@user)
do_post
end
it "should assign the user for the view" do
do_post
assigns[:user].should equal(@user)
end
it "should build a new ticket on the user" do
@user_tickets_association.should_receive(:build).with
(@params).and_return(@ticket)
do_post
end
it "should assign the ticket for the view" do
do_post
assigns[:ticket].should equal(@ticket)
end
it "should save the new ticket" do
@ticket.should_receive(:save).with().and_return(true)
do_post
end
it "should save the new ticket" do
@ticket.should_receive(:save).with().and_return(true)
do_post
end
it "should redirect to the ticket path if successful" do
do_post
response.should redirect_to('/tickets')
end
it "should render the new page if create fails" do
@ticket.stub!(:save).and_return(false)
do_post
response.should render_template('new')
end
end

That makes a-lot of sense. That 'new' word threw me off.
My create method is slightly more complex and I'm not sure how to
spec it.
def create
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
@ticket = @ user.tickets.build(params[:ticket])
if @ticket.save
redirect_to tickets_path
else
render new_usr_ticket_path(params[:user_id])
end
end
Would I need two mock_models?

what's in the create method of the controller?? you've only given
the contents of the new method - and without knowing what you want
it to do it's hard to know what will work.
Assuming it's the normal
def create
@ticket = Ticket.new(params(:ticket])
if @ticket.save
....etc etc
end
then something like the following should work:
describe TicketsController, "handling POST /tickets" do
before do
@ticket = mock_model(Ticket, :save => true)
Ticket.stub!(:new).and_return(@ticket)
@params = {}
end
def do_post
post :create, :ticket => @params
end
it "should create a new ticket" do
ticket.should_receive(:new).with(@params).and_return(@ticket)
do_post
end
it "should assign the ticket for the view" do
do_post
assigns[:ticket].should equal(@ticket)
end
it "should save the new ticket" do
@ticket.should_receive(:save).with().and_return(true)
do_post
end
end

I replaced:

If I omit @params = {} then I get the error as following
1)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'TicketsController handling
POST /tickets should create a new ticket'
Mock 'Class' expected :new with (any args) once, but received it 0

./spec/controllers/tickets_controller_spec.rb:16:
So its not receiving the new method at all even though I clearly
called it.
Could it be possible that the issue is with the actual Ticket
model itself?

This is telling the ticket object to expect new, but it's the Ticket
class that will receive it:
Ticket.should_receive(:new).with(@params).and_return(@ticket)
That should do it.
