In all of my controller specs I have tests that look something like this.
it "should require login" do
get :edit, :id => '7'
response.should redirect_to(new_session_path)
end
I'd like to move this to a shared example, but the request call (get() or
post()) varies with each example. Is there a good way to tell the shared
example how to request the page?
I thought about doing something like this
describe "whatever" do
def request_page
get :edit, :id => '7'
end
# use shared example
end
then in the shared example I would call request_page() instead. Although this
is slightly more DRY it isn't saving me any lines of code and it feels like
there could be a better way. Another idea I had was to make a helper function
that returns a Proc (basically I'm faking currying) and I could bind that Proc
to something like @request_proc and then run the proc in the shared example.
Anyone have any better ideas?
