[rspec-users] get to a different controller

[Matt Wynne]

Subclass it in your spec with

class TestController < Admin::BaseController
    def index
    end
end

...then use the TestController in your tests for Admin::BaseController.

That might mean you'll need to add special routing for TestController  
which is annoying but can be done.
