Question

I’d like to factor this bunch of code so that all of my controller tests (well, almost all of them) use this before(:each) block:

before(:each) do
  @user = User.new
  controller.stub(:authenticate_user!)
  controller.stub(:current_user).and_return(@user)
  controller.stub(:add_secure_model_data)
end

Is there any way to do that? I don’t want to include it in all controllers… because there are a few that don’t need this. By basically, every controller that extends from SecureController will need this before(:each) block.

Is there any nice way to do that?

Thanks

shared_context "controller stuff" do
  before(:each) { ... }
end

describe SomeController do
  include_context "controller stuff"
  ...
end
