rspec users - Mar 2007 - controller_name with dynamic controllers

I''m writing a controller which should only be inherited from,  
something like the generic crud controller seen here: http:// 
geekonomics.blogspot.com/2006/07/crud-and-shared-controllers.html

Now, in my spec, I would like to create a controller which inherits  
from the generic CRUDController, without actually creating the  
controller.  This controller is *only* for testing.

How can I do this?  I can''t do something like this:

Object.const_set("MyCrudController", Class.new(CRUDController))

because the method "controller_name" will complain of setting the  
constant twice.

Any ideas?

Best,

Scott Taylor

Thanks for the reply.  Actually, both work, but I was making the dumb  
move of using be_equal instead of be ==, so I was getting a failing  
spec.

FWIW, be == is not really supported. You should just use == ...

  actual.should == expected

or

  actual.should equal(expected)

if you want object identity.
