end

def setup
@user = User.new
end

it &quot;assigns all users as @users&quot; do
@user\.stub\(:all\)\{\[mock\_user\]\}
post &#39;index&#39;

I change it as get 'index'
it still gives me undefined method

rspec probably doesn't understand that you're testing a controller.

if your spec file looks like

require 'spec_helper'

describe SomeController do
...
end

then it should detect that you're speccing a controller

rspec probably doesn't understand that you're testing a controller.

if your spec file looks like

require 'spec_helper'

describe SomeController do
...
end

I did like that

require 'spec_helper'

describe "UserController" do
  describe "GET index" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get 'index'
      response.should be_success
    end

    it "render the index template" do
      get :index
      response.should render_template('index')
    end

     it "assigns all users as @users" do
       u = Factory(:user)
       get :index
       assigns[:users].should == [p]
     end

  end
end

it gives the the require error. However. I have a spec_helper.rb in
the spec dicrectory.. kind of confusing

plz help me

How are you running the spec ? either the rake task or running

rspec spec/.../my_spec.rb

should setup the load path correctly for you
