[rspec-users] Collection proxies need to be stubbed ?

[Francois Beausoleil]

Hi all !

I just started writing specs on a new project.  I would just like to
validate that this is the way you would write it.  I know about mocks,
stubs and expectations.  I don't think this is a problem for me.

My question really boils down to:

def index
  @projects = current_user.projects.active
end

My spec needs to return the proxy, no ?  Here's my code:

context "A logged in user visiting the index action" do
  controller_name :dashboard

  setup do
    @user = mock("user")
    controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@user)

    @user.should_receive(:projects).and_return(projects_proxy = Object.new)
    projects_proxy.should_receive(:active).and_return([:a, :b])
    get :index
  end

  specify "should have a list of projects available" do
    assigns[:projects].should == [:a, :b]
  end

  specify "should render the index view" do
    controller.should_render :template => "dashboard/index"
  end

  specify "should be a successful call" do
    response.should_be_success
  end
end

Thanks !
