# I have a setup method in my controller test that looks like this:

 def setup
   @order = Order.new
   @order.save_new
   session[:order_id] = @order.id
 end

# I have a test that looks like this:

 test "order in progress less than five minutes gets redirected to process_order action" do
   Transaction.expects(:validation_without_rails).returns({})
   o = Order.create
   @controller.expects(:current_order).with(false).returns(o)
   o.expects(:updated_at).returns(1.minute.ago)
   o.expects(:state).returns("InProgress")
   get :process_order
   assert_redirected_to :action => 'process_order'
 end

# This test passes, but what I initially tried was

 test "order in progress less than five minutes gets redirected to process_order action" do
   Transaction.expects(:validation_without_rails).returns({})
   Order.any_instance.stubs(:updated_at).returns(1.minute.ago)
   Order.any_instance.stubs(:state).returns("InProgress")
   get :process_order
   assert_redirected_to :action => 'process_order'
 end

# and this failed. Somehow the #current_order method of the controller
# is returning an object that is not stubbed. StoreController <
# ApplicationController and #current_order defined on
# ApplicationController like so:

 def current_order(create_if_nil=true)
   order_id = session[:order_id]

   if order_id
     @order = Order.find(order_id) rescue nil
   end

   if @order.nil? && create_if_nil
     @order = Order.new
     @order.save_new
     session[:order_id] = @order.id
   end

   @order
 end

# It's pretty standard I feel. I tried to reproduce the error in a test
# project, but there must be something I'm missing. The #save_new method
# isn't terribly interesting as it just sets some default values and
# does some checks before saving the Order to the database with state
# set to "New".

# I've double-checked that mocha is being required after test/unit and
# all of that other 0.9.6+ jazz. What am I missing? At this point, I've
# worked around the issue by stubbing the current_order method, but I
# think my bigger concern is with something like this biting me again in
# the future if I don't understand how stubbing actually works.
