I want to test if my sessions logic works. Session: id user_id When I create a new session, if there was a previous session row in the db with user_id = xxx, it should delete it first, then create a new row. How could I test this scenerio? So far I have: require ''spec_helper'' describe Session do let(:session) { FactoryGirl.create(:session) } subject { session } it { should be_valid } describe "a new session" do s1 = FactoryGirl.build(:session) s2 = FactoryGirl.build(:session) user = FactoryGirl.create(:user) s1.user_id = user.id s1.save! #should change(Session, :count).by(1) end end I can''t seem to figure out how to use the "should change Session count by 1". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Also look at http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-expectations/RSpec/Matchers:expect so you''ll understand my suggestion below. Second - you say above "When I create a new session, if there was a previous session row in the db with user_id = xxx, it should delete it first, then create a new row." This suggests that you want Session.count _not_ to change at all: user = FactoryGirl(:user) session = FactoryGirl(:session, :user_id => user.id) expect { session.save! }.not_to change(Session, :count) HTH, David
great thanks. should a var created in a block be reachable outside the block? it "...." do expect { session = Session....... }.not_to change(Session, :count) session.guid.should xxxx end I tried that but was a bit confused, whatever is in the expect block is isolated right?

Currently your session variable is only scoped to the block that is passed to "expect". Anything outside of that block doesn''t know anything about the session variable.
