# i had a problem with a before filter that used information from another api.
#  The api was called all the time in an around filter and i'd use the information to then verify.
# Well now when i need to stub out a before filter in a functional test i use this code snippet:
test "User should create user"
  @controller.stubs(:active_user?).returns(true)
  get :edit, :id => users(:one).to_param
  assert_response :success
end
