[rspec-users] Problem with rendering JSON

You are my last resort for solving this issue as I have tried and tried to
solve it myself but can''t.

I''m not even sure if it''s an RSpec issue but the thing is, if
I run the
request from the browser, it works. Sadly, my test fails. So either
there''s
something about Rails I don''t know about (but should) or I''m
doing something
wrong in RSpec.

Here is my test ....

let(:charity) { mock_model(Charity).as_null_object }
...
context "params[:term] has data" do
  it "calls Charity::fulltext_search" do

Charity.should_receive(:fulltext_search).with(String).and_return([charity])
    xhr :get, :autocomplete_index, :term => String, :format => :json
  end
end

And this is my controller ....

def autocomplete_index
  @charities = (params[:term].blank?) ? [] :
Charity.fulltext_search(params[:term])
  render :json => @charities   ##.to_json(:only => [:name,
:official_website])
end

As I said, this works from the browser but I get into a ''stack level
too
deep'' with RSpec.

I looked in to gems/actionpack-2.3.8/lib/action_view/paths.rb and it''s
responsible for finding the template.

It raises MissingTemplate.new(self, original_template_path, format) and I
printed the original_template_path (charities/) and the format (json)

If anyone can me in the right direction, I would be v grateful. Thank you.

This is a snippet of the output (the bit between [[ ]] is repeated until the
program quits with the ''stack level too deep'' message.

Why are you using the class String here, instead of an actual sample term?

Hi,

The reason why I''m using String is because I''m not bothered
about return
values and I''m using it more as a bit more documentation -
fulltext_search
accepts a string and returns an array of charity records.

Also, in this example, I don''t even need with() nor and_return() as all
I''m
really interested in is if fulltext_search is called.

If I''m interested in the return value, then I will use real values.
Otherwise I''ll just use generic Fixnum/String etc.

Now I''ve explained that, am I using it wrong?  For me, it works but
like I
say, If I''m doing something dangerously wrong, then I will change my
way of
working.

So either there''s something about Rails I don''t know about
(but should) or I''m doing something wrong in RSpec.

Well, the error you''re getting seems to be coming from deep within the
bowels of Rails, where it''s trying to encode a hash as JSON. I have no
idea what that code will try to do if you give it a String class as a value
within the Hash, but I can imagine it might cause the kind of weirdness
you''re experiencing.

What I''d do in a simliar situation is to use a more realistic value
(i.e. something that actually is an instance of String) that still explains to
the reader that it''s of low importance to the test case. For example:

    Charity.should_receive(:fulltext_search).with(''a query
term'').and_return([charity])

Sometimes I even push these off into let blocks.


cheers,
Matt
