Hi everyone,
I ran into a little problem this evening and couldn't quite figure out
how to solve it...
So I have this sort of thing:
class FooController < ApplicationController
include Omg
end
module Omg
def self.included(base)
base.before_filter :set_something, :only => :show
base.class_eval do
attr_reader :something
end
end
def set_something
@something ||= Something.new(current_user)
end
end
....
So, then I had a controller test like:
describe FooController do
it_behaves_like "omg", subject
end
...
shared_example "omg" do |obj|
it "sets something" do
Something.expects(:new).once
get :show
end
it "gets something" do
Something.stubs(:new).returns "lol"
get :show
obj.something.should == "lol"
end
end
.........
So this failed, and I saw-- ok-- subject apparently isn't a real
instance of the controller outside of an "it" block...... It's a proc
of some kind, and I didn't know what to do with it-- so I changed my
test code slightly:
describe FooController do
it_behaves_like "omg", FooController.new
end
... and I got a failure, and upon inspecting, I found that in side the
context of the shared examples, the "obj" variable was not the same
controller instance as the one performing the get :show... So
obj.something never equalled "lol", because it never got its setter
method called..
So I said to mself: "????????"
and thought I'd ask here:
How can I refernence the real subject link this inside a shared example?
