I am having a lot of trouble figure out how to mock one my controller methods. I was hoping someone might be able to help me. --------------- Controller: def create .... @objective = current_user.objectives.create(params[:objective]) .... end RSpec: it "should create a new objective and return new id" do obj = Objective.plan(:user_id => @user.id) post :create, :objective => obj response.should be_success json = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(response.body) json["id"].should == assigns[:objective].id end ----------- As you can see, I am not mocking current_user.objectives.create so I have to look at assigns[:objective] to test that things are working. How would I go about mocking it? Thanks in advance for all your help.
