I obviously don''t fully understand functional testing. I''m
trying to
test object creation, but I can''t get my functional test to actually
create an object with a unique ID. Here''s a rough outline of what
I''m
doing:
Controller:
def create
@my_object = MyObject.new(:owner => params[:user_id])
@my_object.name = ''dog''
@my_object.save!
end
Test:
def test_create_empty_object
post :create, :user_id => ''sample_user''
assert_status 200
my_new_object = MyObject.find_by_owner(''sample_user'')
puts my_new_object.id
end
My question is: why does my_new_object come back with an ID of 0?
This really causes problems when I''m trying to relate new objects to
one another and somehow the functional tests keep setting the object
IDs to 0. Is there a way around this? Should I be testing this
functionality in another way?
Thanks,
Sean

As a follow up, is there a really good functional testing guide somewhere? Right now they feel pretty useless to me, as it looks like I can only test that I get a certain type of response from a request, rather than the controller method did what it was supposed to. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
