Supports a simple DSL for specifying behaviour of ApplicationController. Creates an anonymous subclass of ApplicationController and evals the body in that context. Also sets up implicit routes for this controller, that are separate from those defined in config/routes.rb.
describe ApplicationController do
controller do
def index
raise ApplicationController::AccessDenied
end
end
describe "handling AccessDenied exceptions" do
it "redirects to the /401.html page" do
get :index
response.should redirect_to("/401.html")
end
end
end
If you would like to spec a subclass of ApplicationController, call controller like so:
controller(ApplicationControllerSubclass) do
# ....
end
NOTICE: Due to Ruby 1.8 scoping rules in anoymous subclasses, constants defined in ApplicationController must be fully qualified (e.g. ApplicationController::AccessDenied) in the block passed to the controller method. Any instance methods, filters, etc, that are defined in ApplicationController, however, are accessible from within the block.
