Instance Method Details

#dispatch_to(controller_klass, action, params = {}, env = {}, &blk) ⇒ Object

Dispatches an action to the given class. This bypasses the router and is suitable for unit testing of controllers.

Parameters

controller_klass<Controller>

The controller class object that the action should be dispatched to.

action<Symbol>

The action name, as a symbol.

params<Hash>

An optional hash that will end up as params in the controller instance.

env<Hash>

An optional hash that is passed to the fake request. Any request options should go here (see fake_request), including :req or :post_body for setting the request body itself.

&blk

The controller is yielded to the block provided for actions prior to the action being dispatched.

Example

dispatch_to(MyController, :create, :name => 'Homer' ) do
  self.stub!(:current_user).and_return(@user)
end

Notes

Does not use routes.
