Rspec and restful_authentication

Hi all,

I'm starting to use the restful_authenticaiton plugin in a project, and am using Rspec to write tests. The problem I'm having is that most of the app has requires that the user be logged in -- i.e.,:

before_filter :login_required

The problem I'm running into with my Rspec tests is that I can't quite figure out how to get the user logged in. I've read a few blog posts on this, but I can't get my hands on some working test code. Has anyone out there run into this?

Thanks!

Figured out my own answer here. Solution was to add

fixtures :users

at the top of the controller spec, and then

login_as :username

in the before(:each) block of each description

..... duh .....
