Ken, I've sometimes found extracting this code into a helper like
def login(user) @controller.stub(:authenticate_user!) @controller.stub(:current_user).and_return(user) @controller.stub(:add_secure_model_data) user end and before(:each) @user = login(User.new) end because most of my controller spec files have to have specs covering unautheticated attempts to access a secured action, or the User may have to be constructed in different ways, and this approach makes it easier to have scenarios for both authenticated and unauthenticated access in the same spec. YMMV. Best, Sidu. http://c42.in http://about.me/ponnappa On 26 May 2011 02:20, Ken Egervari <ken.egerv...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd like to factor this bunch of code so that all of my controller tests > (well, almost all of them) use this before(:each) block: > > before(:each) do > @user = User.new > controller.stub(:authenticate_user!) > controller.stub(:current_user).and_return(@user) > controller.stub(:add_secure_model_data) > end > > Is there any way to do that?
