You are testing has_basket_items? action in ApplicationHelper, which check a specfic basket with a basket_id in the baskets table, so you should have some basket objects in your test which you can create using <a href="https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl" rel="nofollow">Factory_Girl</a> gem. Hers's an example :- <pre><code>basket1 = Factory(:basket, :name => 'basket_1') basket2 = Factory(:basket, :name => 'basket_2') </code></pre> You can get more details on How to use factory_girl from this screen cast <a href="http://railscasts.com/episodes/158-factories-not-fixtures" rel="nofollow">http://railscasts.com/episodes/158-factories-not-fixtures</a> It will create a Factory object in your test database. So, basically you can create some factory objects and then set a basket_id in session to check for its existence like this : <pre><code>session[:basket_id] = basket1.id </code></pre> So, your test should be like this :- <pre><code>require 'spec_helper' describe ApplicationHelper do describe 'has_basket_items?' do describe 'with no basket' do it "should return false" do basket1 = Factory(:basket, :name => 'basket_1') basket2 = Factory(:basket, :name => 'basket_2') session[:basket_id] = 1234 # a random basket_id helper.has_basket_items?.should be_false end end end end </code></pre> Alternatively, you can check for a basket_id which is being created by factory_girl to be_true by using : <pre><code>session[:basket_id] = basket1.id helper.has_basket_items?.should be_true </code></pre>

1. COI have tried your suggestion but unfortunately i get the same result. From what I can tell this seems to be more to the fact that a request object has not been injected into my helper rather than the objects don't exist in the database. In fact, no basket entities should have to exist for my method to work.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
