Hello, I'm very new with Ruby (and Rails), but I need to make a test with testcase. I made an application that use openid login (following Ryan Bates's tutorial), where the session controller code is:

def create &nbsp;&nbsp;if using\_open\_id? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;open\_id\_authentication(params[:openid\_url]) &nbsp;&nbsp;... &nbsp;&nbsp;end end

protected def open\_id\_authentication(openid\_url) &nbsp;&nbsp;authenticate\_with\_open\_id(...) do |result, identity\_url, registration| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if result.successful? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;... &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;end &nbsp;&nbsp;end end

I tried to create a stub with no luck (maybe I don't really know how it works). I'd like to test the 'authenticate\_with\_open\_id' block, currently I'm using simplecov to check the coverage and stops in that line.

Thanks
