Hi all,
I have a model (stable) with many children (horses). I have created my
routes so that you access horses via stables, but this is causing
issues with trying to test my horses_controller create action.
Routes:
resources :users
resources :sessions, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy]
resources :stables, :only => [:new, :create, :show] do
resources :horses
end
resources :horses, :only => [:show]
root :to => ''pages#home''
Horses controller:
def create
@horse Stable.find_by_id(params[:stable_id]).horses.build(params[:horse])
if @horse.save
flash[:success] = ''Horse created!''
redirect_to horse_path(@horse)
else
@breeds = Breed.all
@genders = [["Gelding", "G"],
["Mare", "M"],
["Stallion", "S"]
]
@title = ''Create A Horse''
render :new
end
end
Stables controller spec:
describe "POST horses ''create''" do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory(:user)
@stable = Factory(:stable, :user => @user)
end
describe "as a signed-in user" do
before(:each) do
test_sign_in(@user)
end
describe "failure" do
before(:each) do
@attr = { :name => '''', :gender =>
'''', :owner =>
@stable, :breed_id => '''' }
end
it "should not create a stable" do
lambda do
{:post => ''stable_horses'', :horse => @attr,
:stable =>
@stable}
end.should_not change(Horse, :count)
end
# fails, error 1 below
it "should render the ''new'' page" do
{:post => ''stable_horses'', :horse => @attr,
:stable =>
@stable}.
should render_template(''stable/horses'')
end
end
describe "success" do
before(:each) do
@breed = Breed.new(:name => ''Thoroughbred'')
@attr = {
:name => ''Bob'',
:gender => ''G'',
:owner => @stable,
:breed_id => @breed.id }
end
# fails, error 2 below
it "should create a horse" do
lambda do
{:post => ''stable_horses'', :horse => @attr,
:stable_id =>
@stable}
end.should change(Horse, :count).by(1)
end
# fails, error 3 below
it "should redirect to the horse page" do
{:post => ''stable_horses'', :horse => @attr,
:stable_id =>
@stable}
response.should redirect_to(horse_path(assigns(:horse)))
end
# fails, error 4 below
it "should have a flash message" do
{:post => ''stable_horses'', :horse => @attr,
:stable_id =>
@stable}
flash[:success].should =~ /horse created/i
end
end
end
end
Errors when tests are run:
1) StablesController POST horses ''create'' as a signed-in
user
failure should render the ''new'' page
Failure/Error: {:post => ''stable_horses'', :horse =>
@attr, :stable => @stable}.
expecting <"stable/horses"> but rendering with
<"">.
Expected block to return true value.
# ./spec/controllers/stables_controller_spec.rb:261:in `block (5
levels) in <top (required)>''
2) StablesController POST horses ''create'' as a signed-in
user
success should create a horse
Failure/Error: lambda do
count should have been changed by 1, but was changed by 0
# ./spec/controllers/stables_controller_spec.rb:277:in `block (5
levels) in <top (required)>''
3) StablesController POST horses ''create'' as a signed-in
user
success should redirect to the horse page
Failure/Error: response.should
redirect_to(horse_path(assigns(:horse)))
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches {:action=>"show",
:controller=>"horses"}
# ./spec/controllers/stables_controller_spec.rb:284:in `block (5
levels) in <top (required)>''
4) StablesController POST horses ''create'' as a signed-in
user
success should have a flash message
Failure/Error: flash[:success].should =~ /horse created/i
expected: /horse created/i
got: nil (using =~)
# ./spec/controllers/stables_controller_spec.rb:289:in `block (5
levels) in <top (required)>''
I''m sure I''m missing something pretty basic, but am not sure
what it
is. Thanks!
