RSpec: Expectation on model's not working while testing controller
- by gmile
I'm trying to write a functional test. My test looks as following:
describe PostsController do
it "should create a Post" do
Post.should_receive(:new).once
post :create, { :post => { :caption => "ThePost", :category => "MyCategory" } }
end
end
My PostsController (a part of it actually) looks as following:
PostController < ActiveRecord::Base
def create
@post = Post.new(params[:post])
end
end
Running the test I'm always receiving a failure, which says that the Post class expected :new but never got it. Still, the actual post is created.
I'm a newbie to RSpec. Am I missing something?
