I just found it bothersome to use stubs when testing rails controllers.
A far easier way to do this is to define what @food is in a before(:each)
block and then use it in your tests:
describe "GET edit" do
it "should assign the requested food to @food" do
Food.should_receive(:find).with("1").and_return(@food)
get :edit, :id => "1"
assigns(:food).should be(@food)
end
end
This is still very fast, and it has the added benefit that you can use
"render_views" at the top of the spec to test your routes, erb code, etc. ->
which is REALLY valuable.
