Yeah, that was the problem! There was authentication in the
ApplicationController and so I needed a skip_before_filter...
Ok.. Taking this a step forward, what I really am trying to do is write
tests that isolate some methods that are called by before_filters in my
controller.
So, lets say I have something like:
class PostsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :store_params, :only => :create
def create
... create stuff
end
def store_params
session[:post_params] = params[:post]
end
end
What I would like to do is totally isolate store_params... So I'd do something
like:
describe "#store_params" do
it "saves the post params for later" do
session[:post_params].should be_blank
post :create, { :post => { :fake_param => "foobar" } }
session[:post_params][:fake_param].should == "foobar"
end
end
... Ok this is all groovy, except my tests will fail because fake_param is not
an attribute on Post, and when it actually gets to the create method it
essentially be trying to do Post.create!(:fake_param => "foobar")... So
obviously I could choose to go about this differently and use a real post
attribute-- but I am just curious if there is a way to isolate the testing of
this method and make #create not even connected in any way?
I was thinking originally that I should be able to do (prior to the post create
call):
PostsController.any_instance.stubs(:create).returns true
But that doesn't seem to do anything...
