In a create controller method I am testing the else clause that occurs<br>when the model is unable to be saved. Sounds simple enough, but because<br>model is created before the save and the form has to be re-filled I now<br>
have to stub a model and all the attributes. Since the error messages<br>are displayed I also have to stub some methods within the model that<br>allow the error messages to be displayed properly.<br><br>This small test turns into a lot of code. So I am wondering if there is<br>
something that I am missing to make this much simpler. Things did start<br>simple, in the stubbing of the new method within the Account class and<br>then the save method within the @account model. Then I get errors<br>reminding me to stub out the users method for the account model, then<br>
the build method, etc<br><br>I have looked at the generated scaffold code and it is simpler, but it<br>seems that the relationship made between the two models is what starts<br>to make this more complex.<br><br>Thanks for the help.<br>

users = mock("Userlist")<br> @account.stub!(:users).and_return(users)<br> users.stub!(:build).and_return(@user)<br><br> #since the form is repopulated the account mock must have stub for<br>all the attributes<br>
@account.stub!(:subdomain).and_return("")<br> @account.stub!(:company_name).and_return("")<br> @account.stub!(:filename).and_return("")<br> @user.stub!(:login).and_return("")<br>
@user.stub!(:email).and_return("")<br> @user.stub!(:password).and_return("")<br> @user.stub!(:password_confirmation).and_return("")<br><br> #need these to satisfy the error messages<br>
errors = mock("errors")<br> errors.stub!("empty?").and_return(false)<br> errors.stub!("full_messages").and_return(["error 1", "error 2"])<br> @account.stub!(:errors).and_return(errors)<br>
@user.stub!(:errors).and_return(errors)<br><br> Account.stub!(:new).and_return(@account)<br> end<br><br> it "should re-render new template" do<br> post "create" #with no submitted params<br>
