Thanks a lot guys, this is great help, it's really appreciated, it makes a lot more sense now.
I somehow felt that I'm not entirely on the right path when I'm doing controller testing, and your replies and examples given here shed some light on it. David, I like your alternative better, since it has more structure. Also, I'd like to ask one more question, which popped into my mind after reviewing these examples, but it's not relating strictly into the previous topic. Is there some way, to say something like: it "should" do post :any_action, params end I'm using some before filters in my controllers to DRY up my code, for example: retrieve a specific record, if params[:id] is set. This is very useful for automatic scoping and assigning instance vars in some controllers, which are relate to nested resources (eg. map.resources :foo, has_many => [:bar]) The aim of this would be to DRY up the tests a little bit, since each action always retrieves a specific set of records, and I could spec it out in the shared model for all possible actions at once, or I am missing something here either? :) Thanks again for the great examples, regards: András On 2007.10.26., at 14:02, David Chelimsky wrote: > On 10/26/07, David Chelimsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On 10/26/07, Tarsoly András <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Take a look at http://pastie.caboo.se/111125 (reorganized from your >> example).
