Understanding how methods are made available within controller tests
Being new to rails and ruby, I am trying to figure out how things fit
together. In particular i am trying to understand how attributes such
as "session" and "cookies" are made available to Controller
tests.
Specifically I am working on a test from the RailsSpace book which
extends Test::Unit::TestCase and only imports the module
ApplicationHelper while attributes such as cookies and session are
defined within the ActionController::TestProcess module. I cannot
figure out how module ActionController::TestProcess is included within
the UserControllerTest.
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../test_helper''
require ''user_controller''
# Re-raise errors caught by the controller.
class UserController; def rescue_action(e) raise e end; end
class UserControllerTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
include ApplicationHelper
..
..
def authorize(user)
@request.session[:user_id] = user.id
end
def friendly_url_forwarding_aux(test_page, protected_page, user)
get protected_page
assert_response :redirect
assert_redirected_to :action => "login"
post test_page, :user => user
assert_response :redirect
assert_redirected_to :action => protected_page
assert_nil session[:protected_page]
end
def cookie_value(symbol)
cookies[symbol.to_s].value.first
end
def cookie_expires(symbol)
cookies[symbol.to_s].expires
end
thx.

Re: Understanding how methods are made available within controller tests
Makes sense. My only confusion is I thought that in ruby methods and attributes can be imported to a class either through inheritance or importing a module. In this case, these extra attributes such as "session" or "cookies" do not exist within the parent class nor the imported module. Is rails including extra modules within my classes at runtime? Thanks for your help! -karl On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 5:53 AM, Frederick Cheung < frederick.cheung-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > > On Mar 13, 3:38 am, Karl <karl.b...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Being new to rails and ruby, I am trying to figure out how things fit > > together.
