[rspec-users] Need help mocking this out

[Jonathan Linowes]

btw, to answer the same question for member actions (such as show),  
you can stub or assert the association proxy class

	@article = current_user.articles.find(params[:id])

then,

it "should find article scoped by current_user" do
	article = mock_model(Article)
	current_user.should_receive(:articles).and_return(Article)
	Article.should_receive(:find).and_return(article)
	get :show, :id => article.id
end

this will ensure that your controller is not calling Article.find  
unscoped
