Test controller that uses Tubesock with RSpec

[dchacke]

It appears that controller specs fail because Puma is not running in RSpec controller tests:

Failure/Error: get :index
Tubesock::HijackNotAvailable:
Tubesock::HijackNotAvailable

How can one get around this so as to test controllers that use Tubesock?

Hi,

An RSpec controller test tests a controller as a unit in isolation. That means that collaborators of the controller should be faked/mocked/stubbed. So you should apply the appropriate technique to the Tubesock class (or wrap it yourself and fake/mock/stub your wrapper, which is recommended) so that the tubesock code is not exercised during the controller test.

Please share your results as I expect others are interested in this as well.
