To make sure that the filter works when you're not logged in, just
make the request:
describe CategoriesController, " POST /categories, not logged in" do
it "should redirect to the login url" do
post :create, :category => {"name" => "foo"}
response.should redirect_to(login_url)
end
end
and when you want to spec the meat of the request, stub the logged_in? method:
describe CategoriesController, " POST /categories" do
before(:each) do
controller.stub!(:logged_in?).and_return(true)
@mock_category = mock_model(Category, :save => true)
Category.stub!(:new).and_return(@mock_category)
end
def do_post
post :create, :category => {"name" => "foo"}
end
it "should create a new category" do
Category.should_receive(:new).with("name" =>
"foo").and_return(@mock_category)
do_post
end
it "should save the category" do
@mock_category.should_receive(:save).and_return(true)
do_post
end
it "should redirect to the category's url" do
do_post
response.should redirect_to(category_url(@mock_category))
end
end
