This is a really basic test, but the rails test environment does not
give me the results I expect. Hopefully someone can set me straight.
I send in a get request with one parameter and the application opens a
page to edit this object - fairly basic. On this edit view there is a
hidden field that contains the id value of the object. When I do this in
the "real" application and view the source of the rendered html page,
everything is as expected. However, when I do the same request through
the functional test, the hidden input tag is created but the value
attribute is not set. This is confirmed with an assert_tag statement and
by visual inspection of the result of "puts @response.body".
To head off the obvious, I have double checked that the appropriate
fixtures are loaded, that the object with the id I specify is in the
test database and that I am specifying the correct id.
The test database has an event with id = 1 and my dev database has an
event with an id = 5
Here is the call to "get" in the test. @session_admin is just a
session
hash I''ve set up to have the administrator logged on.
get(:show, {''event[id]'' => ''1''},
@session_admin)
puts @response.body
When I look at the output, the hidden field shows up but it has no value
attribute, as follows:
<input id="event_id" name="event[id]"
type="hidden" />
The hidden field is defined in the view as follows:
<%= hidden_field(''event'',''id'') %>
Now, I use the following URL while running the application logged on as
the administrator:
http://localhost:3000/events/show?event[id]=5
I view the source of the html document, and the hidden field is
<input id="event_id" name="event[id]"
type="hidden" value="5" />
What''s the story here?

You need to pass in the hash that the parameters will be converted to: get :show, {:event => { :id => ''1'' }}, @session_admin - Jamis> > When I look at the output, the hidden field shows up but it has no > value attribute, as follows: > > <input id="event_id" name="event[id]" type="hidden" /> > > The hidden field is defined in the view as follows: > > <%= hidden_field(''event'',''id'') %> > > Now, I use the following URL while running the application logged > on as the administrator: > http://localhost:3000/events/show?event[id]=5 > > I view the source of the html document, and the hidden field is > > <input id="event_id" name="event[id]" type="hidden" value="5" /> > > What''s the story here? > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
