[rspec-users] Stumped with nil Class error

Thanks for the reply but I've sorted it. I implemented this

<http://iain.nl/2008/11/authlogic-is-awesome/>I think the instance variables

enabling me to stub them/set message expectations.

Anyway, I eventually got it working and can now press on.

Again, thanks for taking the time to reply.
