[rspec-users] describe AddressesController, "handling GET /addresses" do

[Nathan Sutton]

Where does @company come from initially in the show controller?  Is  
there a before_filter?

describe AddressesController, "handling GET /addresses/1" do
   before do
     @address = mock_model(Address)
     @company = mock_model(Company)

     Company.stub!(:find_by_id).and_return(@company)

     @company.stub!(:addresses)
     @company.addresses.stub!(:find).with("1").and_return(@address)
   end
end

Give that a shot, you might want to make some of those expectations  
instead of stubs, depending on your style.
