RSpec view spec, missing policy authorization context

[palkan]

This is a know limitation of view specs. You should provide the information required for helpers manually.

Something like this:

view.stub(:current_user).and_return(user)

# or stub allowed_to? explicitly

Thanks for the tips. I search and tried some stuff but didn't found these issues/questions.

To complete, view doesn't works. I'd to use controller instead, like following:

controller.stub(:current_user).and_return(user)

Does it something that could be added in documentation?

Although it's not related to this particular gem, let's add it (along with the link to this issue).
