If you have used paperclip then I can help you in this..

Write your test case like this

def do_upload_file
# write the request for the action as defined in your routes file
# get :upload_file, :id => :user_id (id of the user)
end

before do
 # set the session variables and other parameters here..
end

it "should upload the file correctly" do
  @user.should_receive(:update_attributes).and_return(true)
  do_upload_asset
  response.should redirect_to(whatever_path)
end

Works for me and can hopefully work for you too....

You can do that using:

obj.asset = fixture_file_upload('/dummy_file.png', 'image/png')

where you can define the fixture path in your spec helper as : 

config.fixture_path = "#{Rails.root}/spec/fixtures"
