David thank you, that worked great. I am doing this and am very happy with
the result.
Employee.stub(:authenticate).with(params[:username],
params[:password]).and_return(nil)
post :login, params
session[:employee_id].should be_nil
response.should redirect_to(:controller => "access", :action =>
"login")
The question I have now is how do I test the other controllers. Since all of
my other pages are going to require authentication.
How do I mock the login functionality in a way that allows me to test my
protected pages as if I were logged in without using an actual post to the
login controller, and still get the :employee_id in the session?
I tried adding this in a before each do
@params = {:username => 'MyString', :password => 'MyString'}
Employee.stub(:authenticate).with(params[:username],
params[:password]).and_return(mock_model(Employee, :id => 1))
session[:employee_id] = 1
Which successfully sets the session variable, but my test fails.
describe "GET index" do
it "assigns all details as @details" do
Detail.stub!(:find).with(:all).and_return([mock_detail])
get :index
session[:employee_id].should == 1 <+++++++++
This passes
assigns[:details].should == [mock_detail] <+++++++++
This fails
end
end
I get
expected: [#<Detail:0x23246b2 @name="Detail_1001">],
got: nil (using ==)
