Rspec: how to spec request.env in a helper spec?
request, rspec, ruby-on-rails, specifications, user-agent
Solution
If you're using rspec-rails, you might be able to use `controller.request` in your helper tests.
Problem
In my helper module, I have: ``` def abc(url) ... if request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] do something end end ``` In my spec file, I have: ``` describe "#abc" do before(:each) do @meth = :abc helper.request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] = "..." end it "should return the webstart jnlp file" do @obj.send(@meth, "some_url").should .... end end ``` When I run the spec I have this error: ``` undefined local variable or method `request' for <ObjectWithDocHelperMixedIn:0x00000103b5a7d0> ``` How do I stub for request.env['...'] in my specs? Thanks.
