    <p>I spent most of the day trying to root out a problem with a controller spec, and the current workaround seems unacceptable to me. Any take on why this works? ... and what I should do instead.</p> <p>Given a simple hierarchy as follows, and the following ability.rb, the properties_controller_spec.rb does not allow the spec below to pass without the line saying:</p> <pre><code>ability = Ability.new(subject.current_user) </code></pre> <p>Can you tell me why this would be?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Models:</p> <pre><code>class Account &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :properties, :dependent =&gt; :nullify end class Property &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :account end class User &lt; Refinery::Core::BaseModel #for RefineryCMS integration belongs_to :account end </code></pre> <p>Ability.rb:</p> <pre><code>class Ability include CanCan::Ability def initialize(user) user ||= User.new if user.has_role? :user can [:read, :create, :update, :destroy], Property, account_id: user.account_id else can [:show], Property end end end </code></pre> <p>properties_contoller_spec.rb:</p> <pre><code>require 'spec_helper' describe PropertiesController do def valid_attributes describe "Authenticated as Property user" do describe "PUT update" do describe "with invalid params" do it "re-renders the 'edit' template" do property = FactoryGirl.create(:property, account: property_user.account) # Trigger the behavior that occurs when invalid params are submitted Property.any_instance.stub(:save).and_return(false) ability = Ability.new(subject.current_user) # seriously? put :update, {:id =&gt; property.to_param, :property =&gt; { }}, {} response.should render_template("edit") end end end end end </code></pre>

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.
