session variable not available in global before(:each, :type => :controller)
- by Rob
Hi,
I'm refactoring some specs, in controller specs I have a before(:each) which sets up things required in the session
my before filter is...
config.before(:each, :type => :controller) do
...
session[:current_user] = @user
session[:instance] = @instance
...
end
@user and @instance are also set in the before(:each)
i've just hidden them for readability here
I get the following error when running the controller tests
undefined method `session' for nil:NilClass
I would expect the global before callbacks to have the same things as the ones in the individual tests but I guess maybe they are loaded before the rails environment has been initialised?
Thanks
