My ApplicationController exposes a method (e.g. sort_direction) to the
view templates by using
helper_method :sort_direction.
I then use this method in another method (e.g. sort_link) in a view
helper (application_helper.rb).
When testing the sort_link method with RSpec (in
application_helper_spec.rb) I have to stub sort_direction as the test
seems to run completely independent from the controllers (and thereby
by to the view templates exposed methods).
Unfortunately I could not find out how to stub that sort_direction
method of the controller. I always get "undefined method".
Here is what I tried so far (inside application_helper_spec.rb):
helper.stub(:sort_direction)
controller.stub(:sort_direction)
view.stub(:sort_direction)
self.stub(:sort_direction)
Here the error I get:
NoMethodError:
undefined method `sort_direction' for
#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1
There is already some older blog post about that topic (http://
jakescruggs.blogspot.com/2007/03/mockingstubbing-partials-and-
helper.html), but it seems that this is not valid anymore for Rails 3
as there is no @controller.template.
How do I stub that method?
