Hello, David:
Thank you very much for your help. Now it works!
I would like to recall a message posted several days ago regarding the
"paginate". How to test "paginate" in controller spec? One simple example
may be like this:
hash[:accounts_pages], hash[:accounts] = paginate :accounts(the table),
#order and conditions follows
How should I test this code in controller spec? Or can I mock this line,
like should_receive(:paginate).and_return(...)? But the problem is
'paginate' returns two values. :(
Thanks for investigating this question.
