I had some doubts while specing the action edit for User Model My controller def edit @user = User.find(get_param(:id, :integer)) @user = current_user if !is_admin? end ******************************* My spec describe "GET edit" do ############################################################## should_require_login :get, :edit ############################################################## describe "authenticated user" do ############################################################## before(:each) do login_as_user @user = mock_model(User) User.stub!(:find).and_return(@user) end ############################################################## it "should find user and return object" do User.should_receive(:find_by_id_and_role).with(1, "SJ").and_return(@user) get :edit, :id => 1, :role => ''SJ'' end end end ************************************** The method is_admin in Application Controller def is_admin? logged_in? && current_user.role == Role.find(Role::ADMINISTRATOR) end *************************************************** The error I have is Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''UsersController GET edit authenticated user should find user and return object'' Mock ''User_1015'' received unexpected message :role with (no args) How should I verify the method is_admin?
