controller test -> be_authorized_to -> create? & new?

[danielnc]

How do I properly test :create?

    it "is authorized" do
      expect { post_create }.to be_authorized_to(:create?, Product.last)
        .with(Accounts::ProductPolicy)
    end

Since block with expect is deferers the post_create, I don't know how to test that I am authorizing the post object to be created

Similar question to :new?

Since Product.new == Product.new is false, I don't know how to implement the same test

Doesn't an_instance_of(Product) work here? I believe, it should.

In general, I recommend against calling authorize! against non-yet-created records. Creating a record is usually protected by some outer context, which should be authorized.
