I have a problem testing an invalid situation, the valid situation without merging params (or merging valid ones) works fine. Controller: # @user is setted with a filter def update if @user.update_attributes(params[:user]) redirect_to(user_path(@user)) else render :action => :show end end Test: def test_should_not_update_user # Set session values session_company :one login_as :emilio # I choose a name that invalid (is too short) update_user(:name => ''s'') assert !users(:emilio).errors.empty?, users(:emilio).errors.full_messages assert_response :success end protected def update_user(options = {}) put :update, :user => { :name => ''Testing name'', :street => ''test street'', :city => ''Testing City'', :zipcode => ''556678'', :state => ''Testing State'', :country => ''Argentina'', :password_actual => ''test'', :password => ''testing'', :password_confirmation => ''testing'' }.merge(options) end Test Output: Started E... Finished in 0.214897 seconds. 1) Error: test_should_not_update_user(UsersControllerTest): TypeError: can''t convert nil into String ..... Why i get an error on invalid name if the controller just render the same page passing user errors...
