Supports a simple DSL for specifying behavior of ApplicationController. Creates an anonymous subclass of ApplicationController and evals the `body` in that context. Also sets up implicit routes for this controller, that are separate from those defined in “config/routes.rb”.
@note Due to Ruby 1.8 scoping rules in anoymous subclasses, constants
defined in `ApplicationController` must be fully qualified (e.g. `ApplicationController::AccessDenied`) in the block passed to the `controller` method. Any instance methods, filters, etc, that are defined in `ApplicationController`, however, are accessible from within the block.
@example
describe ApplicationController do controller do def index raise ApplicationController::AccessDenied end end describe "handling AccessDenied exceptions" do it "redirects to the /401.html page" do get :index response.should redirect_to("/401.html") end end end
If you would like to spec a subclass of ApplicationController, call controller like so:
controller(ApplicationControllerSubclass) do # .... end
