How can I spec out an authlogic sessions controller using using a stub?
- by Dave
I want to test my User Session Controller testing that a user session is first built then saved. My UserSession class looks like this:
class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base
end
The create method of my UserSessionsController looks like this:
def create
@user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session])
if @user_session.save
flash[:notice] = "Successfully logged in."
redirect_back_or_default administer_home_page_url
else
render :new
end
end
and my controller spec looks like this:
describe UserSessionsController do
it "should build a new user session" do
UserSession.stub!(:new).with(:email, :password)
UserSession.should_receive(:new).with(:email => "[email protected]", :password => "foobar")
post :create, :user_session => { :email => "[email protected]", :password => "foobar" }
end
end
I stub out the new method but I still get the following error when I run the test:
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'UserSessionsController should build a new user session'
<UserSession (class)> received :new with unexpected arguments
expected: ({:password=>"foobar", :email=>"[email protected]"})
got: ({:priority_record=>nil}, nil)
It's although the new method is being called on UserSession before my controller code is getting called. Calling activate_authlogic makes no difference.
