Matt,
Thank you very much. It turns out that a pair of
authentication/authorization before_filters were interfering with the test.
I got past it now by doing this:
before(:each) do
@user = mock_user
@login_params = { :login => 'quentin', :password => 'monkey' }
User.stub!(:authenticate).with(@login_params[:login],
@login_params[:password]).and_return(@user)
@user.stub!(:enabled?).and_return(true)
@user.stub!(:account_id).and_return(1)
@user.stub!(:time_zone).and_return('Eastern Time (US & Canada)')
@user.stub!(:role).and_return('normal')
User.stub!(:in_role?).with('limited').and_return(false)
controller_bypass_authentication(@user)
end
I've got 3 roles in my app (admin, normal, and limited), in case you were
curious about that. I didn't know about the hash trick. Thanks!
- Mark
