This package helps you check that the filters and layouts in a controller have been defined correctly.

Matchers

You may have created a controller as follows:

class MyController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_user
  before_filter :require_user, only: [:home]
  skip_before_filter :authorize

  layout 'my_layout'

  def home
    ...
  end
end

You can spec this controller using the matchers in this package as follows:

require 'spec_helper'

describe MyController do
  it { should have_before_action :set_user }
  it { should have_before_filter :require_user, only: [:home] }
  it { should have_skip_before_filter(:authorize)) }
  it { should have_layout 'my_layout' }
  ...
end

To make this matcher available in your controller specs, do the following:

Using

Gemfile

group :test do
  ...
  gem 'specstar-controllers', '~> 0.2.0'
  ...
end

spec/spec_helper.rb

require 'specstar/controllers'

RSpec.configure do |config|
  ...
  config.include Specstar::Controllers::Matchers, :type => :controller
  ...
end
