Ok, maybe I'm being particularly thick, but I've been trying to find the solution to this for a couple of hours now and I just can't seem to be able to do it...
I'm trying to write a step as such: Given("user $email is logged in") do |email| user = User.find_by_email(email) session[:user_id] = user.id end This is the way it would look in specs... but all I seem to be getting, depending on whether I write it as @session, @controller.session, session, request.session, @request.session, etc... is errors like: NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.session ./matchers/navigation_steps.rb:4:in `user $email is logged in' Or variations such as: NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]= ./matchers/navigation_steps.rb:4:in `user $email is logged in' ... What am I doing wrong? I've for the time being gotten around this problem (thanks to pd's suggestion on #rspec) by making the spec run through the sign up and email confirmation process, which does sign in the user into the session... but that seems a little over-verbose?) Any help would be most welcome. Daniel _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
