Or, if you need different users to behave in different ways, you
might want to create a helper in spec_helper.rb, such as this:
def login_as(user, options = {:id => "5", :needs_activation => false,
:admin => false})
user.stub!(:id).and_return(options[:id])
user.stub!(:to_param).and_return(options[:id])
user.stub!(:needs_activation?).and_return(options
[:needs_activation])
user.stub!(:admin?).and_return(options[:admin])
controller.send :current_user=, user
end
Then you can just say this in the specs:
login_as(@user_mock_object)
and the controller will behave accordingly (assuming you use
restful_authentication/acts_as_authenticated).
