Hi, In my RESTful implementation, :new shows a form for @link . When a user clicks on Create, the value of @link is posted to :create through params. How do I test the value of params and that :create actually uses these value to create a new link. Right now I test :create by by using a link fixture but I want to actually use the value of params passed in through :new. I suspect that an integration test is needed but how can I do this? Thanks.

What''s your test suite of choice? Using plain old TestUnit, try
something like this:
def test_link_creates_correctly
post :create, :link => {:name => ''Contact Us'', :href
=> ''/
contact'', :title => ''Contact Us''}
assert Link.find(:first, :conditions => {:name => ''Contact
Us'', :href => ''/contact'', :title =>
''Contact Us''})
end
This will test that the record was created as you wish. Honestly
though, I don''t test for this, and I''m more paranoid than
most. If
you''re passing params[:link] to your Link.new method in the create
action, that''s good enough. Since I stub out most database
interaction with Mocha, I actually just test that Link.new was
*called* with the right parameters.
If you want to go nuts on controller tests, I have a pretty detailed
article about it with more to come:

And if you have any questions, contact me through my blog or twitter
(@kconrails) and I''ll be glad to help!

Thanks all. Cucumber sounds very promising. I will pick up a book on BDD.
