I have just recently started creating some plugins, mainly of the

RSpec, but have not yet found anything helpful. Can anyone point
me toward such a thing?
Create a controller in your specs which uses the plugin in an
exemplary way, then asserts the behaviour of that controller.
Thanks, Matt. I have some parts of it working now, but am stumped
when trying to call an action. I need to do a post :create, but post
is not a known method. Do you happen to know of a controller plugin
that used RSpec that I could peruse?
Yeah, you need to convince RSpec that the describe blocks you're using
are describing an ExampleGroup that's about a Rails Controller, then
it will mix in the right methods for you. I think you can do something
like:
describe MySpecialTestController, :type => :controller do
end
That's the general idea. I think someone else on the list will be able
to help more than me with the specifics.
As for a plug-in, I don't know any off-hand... try a few popular ones
out on github and look for a spec directory in the root I guess.
Thanks,
Phillip
