Was butting up against Twitter’s rate limit while running rspec spec:

1) CompanyController GET 'index' should be successful
 Failure/Error: get 'index'
 Twitter::BadRequest:
   GET https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?count=20&screen_name=cfeduke: 400: Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour.

Fixed by adding:

Twitter.stub(:user_timeline) { [ ] }

above line 15 of company_controller_spec.rb.

Great suggestion. thanks!

I think VCR would be a better solution.

I needed to comment out the added line before rspec would complete successfully.

$ rspec spec/

Commenting out the line in ‘company_controller_spec.rb’ makes my world a better place.
