I tend to take this one more step. I'm a bit of a demeter zealot, and
I'm also usually writing the examples from the code first. So I'd do
something like:
it "should find the current users articles" do
article = mock_model(Article)
current_user.should_receive(:find_article).with("1").and_return(Article)
get :show, :id => "1"
end
This would lead me to add a find_article method to User:
describe User do
it "should find it's own articles" do
user = User.new
user.articles.should_receive(:find).with("1")
user.find_article("1)
end
end
This has two benefits:
- each example is simpler and focuses on one object and how it behaves
- I can change the relationship between a User and it's Articles
without changing the controller code.
