New to Ruby and to Rails (but not to development or testing). Perhaps
I''m going about this wrong, but I''m writing a functional test
of my
controller. The controller makes changes to the item being operated
on and saves those changes to the database. My test code doesn''t
detect these changes unless I reload from the database, e.g.:
def test_something
foo = foos(:my_test_foo)
post :update, :id => foo.id, :bar => "Some Data"
assert_equal("Some Data",foo.bar) # FAILS
foo = Foo.find(foo.id)
assert_equal("Some Data",foo.bar) # PASSES
end
I don''t necessarily have a problem with this, but it made me wonder if
I''m approaching testing the wrong way. Am I?

Fred is correct. A small suggestion to your code. Instead of foo = Foo.find(foo.id) simply use foo.reload --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
