By external resources, I mean, the code start a http connection and GET xmls
from the url specified. I will definitely not rely my unit test on an
external url or anything like that. But how do I unit test the method? I
mean, I can basically mock the Net::HTTP, but then the test will pretty much

I think I happen have a case where it would be plausible to run
specs/stories against production data.

Take a look at the video from Ruby Hoedown in which Joe O'brien and

Hi folks,
I'm hoping for a bit of help on best-practices for skipping a

authentication filter. What happens is that the post (see code below)

never mind, i misread your question, thought you were talking about a
controller spec
rather than a story
stories are intended to exercise the full stack, so I actually log
in, with a step like this:
Given "I am logged in " do
user = create_registered_user( :login => 'user', :password
Thanks David for the very detailed response.
I see what you mean about why this should be hard to do. In fact
perhaps what I should do instead is simply specify the user-login part
in my story instead of skipping it. I didn't at first because its a
pain, i.e. sending the sessions/create post and
