Hi!

Have you considered mocking / stubbing to test in isolation if that is appropriate ?

Hi all,

I'm using Goldberg, an engine that provides roles based access
control for my app. I need to login before I can do controller tests,
but I can't find any examples of people doing this.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

I thought the simplest way would be to either call the login action
from my other tests before(:all), but I can't seem to find how to
call another controller from within the spec for a different
controller. (Results in @controller is nil).

I've also tried setting session[:user] in before(:all), but session
is nil at that point!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Luke
