RSpec's anonymous controller does not use your routes. If you look at
how the controller method is implemented[1], you'll see the routes
being replaced with just the anonymous resources.
You can do something similar in a before block in your spec. For example:
describe ApplicationController do
describe "#require_bar" do
controller do
before_filter :require_bar
def index
render :text => "", :status => 200
end
end
before do
@routes.draw do
resources :anonymous # for all other specs to keep working
resources :user_sessions # this makes new_user_session_path available
end
end
context "when not signed in" do
before :each do
controller.stub(:user_signed_in?).and_return(false)
end
it "should fail gracefully by redirecting to log in" do
get :index
response.should redirect_to new_user_session_path
end
end
end
end
Hope that helps,
Mike
