In my controller's create method, I have:
@sub_context = @context.create_sub_context(params[:context][:name])
If I do not specify params in the "post :create" call in my controller
spec then I get the following error for each example:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]
So I see that it is trying to access :name when :context is nil which
can be avoided if I ensure each post :create includes a params for
[:context][:name] e.g.
post :create, :context => {"name" => "Seniors"}
I am wondering if there is a way to avoid having to specify params in
each and every example by adding some code to a before[:each] block?
For example, the params are redundant in some examples e.g.
it "should save the context" do
@context.should_receive(:save)
post :create, :context => {"name" => "Seniors"}
end
Thanks.
