Hi friends I am new to rspec. i have one doubt about show action for example [1] ---->If we use the below way i.e get :show,:id => 1 above the query i got error. "Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''MyController GET show should find my controller and return object '' expected :find_by_id with ("1") once, but received it 0 times" describe MyControler, "GET show" do before(:each) do @user = Factory(:complete_user) controller.stub!(:require_user => true , :current_user => @user) @my_controller = mock_model(MyControler) @user.my_controllers.stub!(:find_by_id).and_return @my_controller end it "should find my controller and return object " do get :show,:id => 1 @user.my_controllers.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(''1'').and_return(@my_controller) end end [2] :but if i use get :show,:id => 1 below the query like it "should find my controller and return object " do @user.my_controllers.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(''1'').and_return(@my_controller) get :show,:id => 1 end i am not getting any error. Why? What is the reason? Could any one explain please? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
