Functional test behaving oddly in a manually working model

Hello all,-

wondering if you can help me with a weird testing problem. I have a
Newsletter model that has been developed and tested in a previous
version (older branch) of my current project. Under that old project,
all tests run perfectly with no failures. Moreover, in the current
project Newsletter behaves perfectly with manual tests - ie creating,
deleting, editing newsletters by hand.

When I run rake test:functionals however, the tests don''t do what they
are supposed to. Here''s a method from NewslettersControllerTest:

def test_should_create_newsletter
    puts "TESTING CREATE"
    login_as(:admin_user) #method in test_helper.rb
    puts "I am " + users(:admin_user).id.to_s #loads correct user from
fixture!
    puts "My email: " + users(:admin_user).email #same, correct user
    old_count = Newsletter.count
    puts "Old count: " + old_count.to_s #1
    post :create, :newsletter => { :subject => ''testing creating
newsletter'', :body => ''Test'' }
    puts "Old count after create: " + old_count.to_s #1
    #assert_equal old_count+1, Newsletter.count #fails
    puts "Newsletter count after create: " + Newsletter.count.to_s #1
AGAIN!
    #assert_redirected_to newsletter_path(assigns(:newsletter))
  end

And here''s the console output:

Started
....TESTING CREATE
I am 2
My email: admin-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org
Old count: 1
Old count after create: 1
Newsletter count after create: 1
.FFFFFF....................

Can anyone see what is wrong here?

Many thanks, Vahagn

Have you tried looking a little closer at why its failing ? Eg stick a
breakpoint in the action and see what happens. If the action doesn''t
run at all because of some filter (eg authentication  - are you sure
your login_as method works ?) then there will be a note in test.log

Re: Functional test behaving oddly in a manually working model

PS!

The "Failure" console output above is for the wrong test (as the 
assertion was commented out in test_create_newsletter). Here''s the
right
output:

 1) Failure:
test_should_create_newsletter(NewslettersControllerTest)
    [./test/functional/newsletters_controller_test.rb:33:in 
`test_should_create_newsletter''
    
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.1/lib/active_support/testing/setup_and_teardown.rb:33:in
`__send__''
    
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.1/lib/active_support/testing/setup_and_teardown.rb:33:in
`run'']:
<2> expected but was
<1>.

Re: Functional test behaving oddly in a manually working model

Hi Fred,-

login_as works in all other tests! And I actually test it by the puts 
statements, it works because I can see the admin_user''s id is 2, and 
email is admin-hcDgGtZH8xPowKkBSvOlow@public.gmane.org This means that login_as
works by loading
that user from the fixture:

admin_user:
  id: 2
  username: admin
  email: admin-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org
  hashed_password: #very long hash
  created_at: <%= 1.days.ago.to_s(:db) %>

I''d still check your logs to see if some filter or something is  
stopping your action from running. Another possibility is a validation  
failure.

Re: Functional test behaving oddly in a manually working model

SOLVED!

Fred, thanks a ton. There was another fixture, roles_users, that I 
forgot to import from the old project. Which resulted in the test 
skipping the create method because of invalid user authentication.

I arrived at that by placing a breakpoint in the controller (create), 
and by examining the test log (great tip, sure to become a habit!)

All the best,
Vahagn
