is there a way to stub a method that sets an instance variable, so

Nope. The idea behind this is that instance variables are supposed
to be the inner representation of some data inside a class, while an
attr_accessor/reader is the public interface to other objects.
Obviously, this idea breaks down in rails. If you wanted something
like that, why not write some shared specs like this:
it "should find ..." do
do_action
@class_name.constantize.should_receive(:find).with
(params).and_return @instance_var_contents
end
it "should assign the instance variable to the template" do
do_action
[EMAIL PROTECTED] == @instance_var_contents
end
where @class_name would be a string like "Foo"
Scott
def find_foo
@foo = Foo.find(params[:id]
end
...
controller.stub!(:find_foo).and_assigns(:foo, "123")
