As best I can tell, bypass_rescue from rspec-rails-1 is no longer part of
rspec-rails, '> 2'. I had been using it on occasion for things like:
describe CorrespondencesController do
...
describe '#show' do
it "should raise an AuthorizationError if current user is not the
correspondent " do
bypass_rescue
...
expect { do_get }.to raise_error(AuthorizationError)
I know there are conflicting opinions on whether or not it's a good idea to
directly check for exceptions this way, but I've always felt that this was
appropriate for testing a controller action in isolation where the
responsibility of the action under test was only to raise the error.
Anyway, I couldn't find any recent references to this (not even in the
rspec-rails repo). Is there any way to do this in rspec-rails-2 or is the
official consensus to check only on response codes, etc... ?
