Re: [rspec-users] Controller Testing + Devise = boom (undefined @controller, request)

[Rich Price]

I am assuming that the get and response lines are not commented
out in your actual test!

Does your code consist ONLY of the lines below?
I think you need to proceed the "it" line with a "describe" line.
for example:

  describe "my test" do
    it "...." do
      *put other code here*
    end
  end

Here I am, trying to learn TDD and BDD.  Getting start, most simple

My test code:

You'll notice it says controller: nil.  I modified the devise helper, as
such:

class TestWarden<  Warden::Proxy #:nodoc:
       attr_reader :controller

       def initialize(controller)
         @controller = controller
         manager = Warden::Manager.new(nil) do |config|
           config.merge! Devise.warden_config
         end
         p "controller: #{controller.inspect}"
         super(controller.request.env, manager)
       end

Thanks for any help!
