I'm trying to
test a method on the application controller that will be used as a before filter. To do this I have setup an anonymous controller in my
test with the before filter applied to ensure that it functions correctly.
The
test currently looks like this:
describe ApplicationController do
controller do
before_filter :authenticated
def index
end
end
describe "user authenticated" do
let(:session_id){"session_id"}
let(:user){OpenStruct.new(:email => "
[email protected]", :name => "Colin Gemmell")}
before do
request.cookies[:session_id] = session_id
UserSession.stub!(:find).with(session_id).and_return(user)
get :index
end
it { should assign_to(:user){user} }
end
end
And the application controller is like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
protect_from_forgery
def authenticated
@user = nil
end
end
My problem is when ever I run the
test I'm getting the following error
1) ApplicationController user authenticated
Failure/Error: get :index
ActionView::MissingTemplate:
Missing template stub_resources/index with {:handlers=>[:erb, :rjs, :builder, :rhtml, :rxml, :haml], :formats=>[:html], :locale=>[:en, :en]} in view paths "#<RSpec::Rails::ViewRendering::PathSetDelegatorResolver:0x984f310>"
According to the docs the view is not rendered when running controller tests however this points to no stub existing for this action (which is understandable as the view doesn't exist)
Anyone have a clue how to solve this problem or stub the view out.
Cheers
