Problem with testing Rails action that uses return keyword

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I’m trying to test Rails action that looks like this:

def create
unless facebook_session
authentication_failed and return
end
…
@facebook_user = facebook_session.user
…
end

authentication_failed method redirects to ‘/’.

The test looks like this:

it ‘should call authentication_failed’ do
controller.should_receive(:authentication_failed)
get :create
end

The problem is that in the test, despite the fact that
facebook_session is nil and the authentication_failed method is
called, the action does not return and I got error in
facebook_session.user line, because facebook_session is nil.

If I move the return keyword to the next line, the test complains then
about missing create.erb template.

Any ideas how to solve it?

If you’re using facebooker, you should use facebook_get instead of get:

facebook_get :create

Also - shouldn’t this be a post?
