rspec users - Dec 2010 - @current_user in controller specs

Hi,

I''m an absolute beginner with RSpec, so I apologize if this question
doesn''t
make sense.

I''m using RSpec 2, Rails 3.  I have a @current_user instance variable
that I
can access in my controller.  I have a controller called
PlanOrderController.  In the create action of this model, I would like to
assign the user_id of the PlanOrder object to be the user_id of the
@current_user before saving.

I have the generated rails controller specs so I''m starting with those.
 Basically I want my controller spec for the create action to test to make
sure that the newly created PlanOrder has it''s user_id property set to
@
current_user.id

The code I have so far is below but it''s not working

      it "sets the user id to the logged on user" do
        @current_user = User.new(:id=>27)
        controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@current_user)

        PlanOrder.stub(:new).with({"days_per_week" => 3,
"description"=>"Test", "purpose_id"=>1 }) {
mock_plan_order(:save => true) }
        post :create, :plan_order =>{"days_per_week" => 3,
"description"=>"Test", "purpose_id"=>1 }
        plan_order = assigns(:plan_order)
        plan_order.user_id.should be(@current_user.id)
      end

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

You can''t say User.new(:id=>27) as ActiveRecord prevents :id from
being
mass-assigned like that (in the case of an action that does
User.new(params[:user]) in the controller, people would be able to set the
id through the POST data). Try User.new.tap {|u| u.id = 27 } instead.
