Stubbing RestClient response in RSpec

Question

I have the following spec...

  describe \"successful POST on /user/create\" do
    it \"should redirect to dashboard\" do
      post \'/user/create\', {
                 


        

Answer 1

Using a mock for the response you can do this. I'm still pretty new to rspec and test in general, but this worked for me.

describe "successful POST on /user/create" do
  it "should redirect to dashboard" do
    RestClient = double
    response = double
    response.stub(:code) { 200 }
    RestClient.stub(:post) { response }

    post '/user/create', {
      :name => "dave",
      :email => "dave@dave.com",
      :password => "another_pass"
    }
    last_response.should be_redirect
    follow_redirect!
    last_request.url.should == 'http://example.org/dave/dashboard'
  end
end
