rspec users - Aug 2007 - using restful_authentication current_user inside controller specs

I''m using restful_authentication in my app and I have  the before
filters in
my application rhtml:

before_filter :login_required
around_filter :set_timezone
around_filter :catch_errors

Currently I have them commented out while rspec''in but I''ll
need to add them
in my specs.


  def create
    @ticket = Ticket.new(params[:ticket])
    @ticket.user = current_user
    if @ticket.save
      redirect_to tickets_path
    else
      render new_ticket_path(params[:user_id])
    end
  end

describe TicketsController, "handling POST /tickets" do
   before do
     @ticket = mock_model(Ticket, :save => true)
     @current_user = mock_model(User)
     @params = {}
   end
   def do_post
     post :create, :ticket => @params
   end
   it "should create a new ticket and assign current user as
ticket''s user"
do
     @ticket.should_receive(:new).with(@params).and_return(@ticket)
     assigns[:ticket].user.should equal(@current_user)
     do_post
   end
end

1)
NoMethodError in ''TicketsController handling POST /tickets should
create a
new ticket and assign current user as ticket''s user''
You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.include?
/Volumes/EXTERNAL/web/yellowticket/vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails/lib/spec/rails/dsl/assigns_hash_proxy.rb:10:in
`[]''
./spec/controllers/tickets_controller_spec.rb:14:


My guess is that I''m not allow to do this: assigns[:ticket].user
How do I apple the assignment with current_user?

@ticket.should_receive(:new).with(@params).and_return(@ticket)

is like saying:

@ticket = @ticket.new(params)

And that, of course, doesn''t make much sense. I''ll give you a
chance
to find the solution yourself ;-)
