Hi,

I seek to authenticate and then test other routing in RSpec, but the
standard RSpec vernacular...

describe SomeController do

   it "blah-blah" do
      get :new
      ...
   end

end

...doesn't seem to allow me to post my login data, as in the following
pseudo-code:

describe SomeController do

  before(:each) do
      post :controller=>"authentication", :action=>
"create", :new_session=>{"user_name"=>"Lille"...}
   end
   ...
end

I've scanned all the methods in the RDoc, but I cannot identify the
manner in which I may specify the controller directly. Any help?

Thanks,

Lille

You can't do that with basic controller specs. What you _can_ do is stub a method on the controller (maybe #current_user) or set a bit of session info like session[:user_id]. So you can set up the spec so that a user is logged in when making the request, but you can't make multiple requests in a single spec. For that you'll want the integration specs or Cucumber.
