Hi, I''m new to RSpec, so I''m not too sure of the best practises in stubbing. I was thinking along the lines of including a helper method that would stub out a users id and posts to sessions/create. It works fine when speccing SessionsController, but of course it fails when it is included into other controllers specs, because of the post. I''ve tried posting to an

I''d like to display a banner on every page. Ultimately I''ll be tweaking which banner is displayed via different controllers but initially I''d just like to set a single banner application wide and display it in my "_header", a partial I include in all layouts.

I am working with the authlogic gem and trying to create a simple login test from cucumber features. The feature statement is: Given the user is not logged in The step definition for this is confounding me.

Hi I''m trying to use before_filter to allow access to a site. Only logged in users can view any object in the controller, but only users with a access_level higher than 2 can view specific objects.

I''m setting up authentication with Authlogic and I get this error. I''ve done some searching but with no success.

I''m trying to create a simple authentication system but am failing miserably. I''m (sort of) following the "Logging In" chapter of the Agile book. Ideally, any access to http://example.com/publish (and any of its subdirectories) should redirect to http:/example.com/publish/login when there is no valid session user_id. Code so far:

Hello, Maybe this is super-trivial... I need to have a list of links on the left hand side of my application, for *every* single page. So, I''ve created a layout called "main" (main.rhtml) under view/layouts, and included >layout "main"< in pretty all of my controllers. main.rhtml has, amongst all the other HTML stuff: <%= render_component

Hello, I added the "before_filter" to my controllers to require a login of the user.

Hi all, I am using rails v.2.3.2 and if I put following line to my ApplicationController: include LoginSystem and I moved my login_system.rb to lib folder: module LoginSystem protected def is_logged_in? @logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user]) if session[:user] end def logged_in_user return @logged_in_user if is_logged_in? end def logged_in_user=(user) if

The DoubleRenderError exception recently introduced is forcing me to go back and rewrite my apps authentication handler. Before I could do a redirect right in the middle of a request. Whatever was happening after that went unnoticed, I assumed it was simply ending the request after the redirect was called, but apparently it was going on and rendering the page.
