Hi,

I have been reading the documentation and examples on the rspec site.
There are two "patterns" from Rails that I am not clear how to


Does anyone have any examples of how to write rspecs for these?

1/ Nested resources.

2/ Resources that are specific to the current_user. In other words, I
only want to "CRUD" the items that belong to current_user and no
others. Yes, I am using restful_authentication.

Are there any open source Rails projects that make good use of rspec?

Thanks in advance,

Vidal.

implement that are kind of related, and so I am not sure how to start.

# Nested resources

 before(:each) do
   @mock_user = mock_model(User, :messages => :pats_messages)
   User.stub!(:find_by_nickname).and_return @mock_user
 end

 def do_get
   get :index, :user_id => "pat"
 end

 it "should find the user" do

   do_get
 end

 # verified a bit indirectly because the only way to get
 # :pats_messages is by calling @mock_user.messages
 # so the controller would have to be
 # user = User.find_by_nickname params[:user_id]
 # @messages = user.messages
 it "should assign the user's messages to the view" do
   do_get
   assigns[:messages].should == :pats_messages
 end
end

# current user

 before(:each) do
   @mock_user = mock_model(User, :messages => :user_messages)
   controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return @mock_user
 end

 def do_get
   get :index
 end

 # Same idea as above...the only way to get this result would be with
 # @messages = current_user.messages
 it "should get the logged in user's messages" do
   do_get
   assigns[:messages].should == :user_messages
 end
end



Please keep in mind that I just whipped these up so there may be typos
:)  but you ought to get the idea.  hth
