rspec users - Dec 2010 - specing a model to make sure it implements act_as_authentic

Is it possible to spec that a model should acts_as_authentic which is
from the authlogic gem?

I''m using rspec-1.3.x

Cheers

Whenever I don''t know how to spec something -- or whether to spec
something
-- I ask, "If the thing I''m worried about failed, how would I
know?" Then I
try writing a spec to check that.

So let me ask you, if your model failed to acts_as_authentic from the
authlogic gem, what would go wrong? Could you write a test that fails when
that wrong thing happens?

Hello Stephen,

I came across same problem few days back.
Its very simple. You need not spec a model to check if the model
acts_as_authentic.
I am using RSpec with Factory_girl. So when I create factory for my
respective model, Factory does the checking for the model. Try creating
a Factory for respective model in before (:each) block.
And for cross-checking, just comment out the acts_as_authentic line from
your model file.
You should be able to see the error message onscreen when spec runs.
And when you uncomment the line, spec runs with 0 errors.

Hope this helps.
