Rails - Jun 2011 - Testing RSpec views: the index action; is my methodology flawed?

This is my organizations_controller_spec.rb:

require ''spec_helper''

describe Superadmin::OrganizationsController do
  describe "GET index" do
    it "shows a list of all organizations" do
      #pending "don''t know why this doesn''t work"
      Organization.should_receive(:all)
    end
  end
  
end

===========
This is my controllers/superadmin/organizations_controller.rb:

class Superadmin::OrganizationsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @organizations = Organization.all
  end
end


Oddly, this doesn''t pass:

1) Superadmin::OrganizationsController GET index shows a list of all 
organizations
     Failure/Error: Organization.should_receive(:all)
       (<Organization(id: integer, name: string, created_at: datetime, 
updated_at: datetime) (class)>).all(any args)
           expected: 1 time
           received: 0 times

Is my methodology incorrect?

You''ve got to actually invoke the action here:

get :index

Oh, of course... thank you. How silly of me.

Question:  Do you recommend stubbing/mocking models?  Or could I just 
specify the real model as I did here?
