Thank you, David!
One small follow-up question.
Is there is a way to mock an object "@comment" in the controller_spec
for the function?
I didn't manage to do it.
def destroy
@destroy_id = @comment.id #to be used in rendering partial
@comment.destroy
end
Looks like assigns[:comment] = mock("comment") works only for views?
Thank you,
Evgeny
