rspec users - May 2007 - Could anyone please help with rspec/nested resource behavior checking?

My problem has been listed here:
http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=25439#p25439

Don''t think it would be required to completely re-type it here :)

Thanks!

Daniel,
Usually the route specs have nothing to do with the controller''s code.
Your controller may not be issuing the proper find, but your route
setup has no effect on the do_get method in your second spec.

More helpful would be to see your controller code.

Chris,

class PostsController < ApplicationController

    @posts = @user.posts.find(:all)

    respond_to do |format|

    end
  end

  end

  end

    @post = Post.new(params[:post])
    @post.user_id = @user.id
    respond_to do |format|
      if @post.save
        flash[:notice] = ''Post was successfully created.''
        format.html { redirect_to post_url(@user, @post) }
        format.xml  { head :created, :location => post_url(@user, @post) }

        format.xml  { render :xml => @post.errors.to_xml }
      end
    end
  end

  def update

    respond_to do |format|
      if @post.update_attributes(params[:post])
        flash[:notice] = ''Post was successfully updated.''
        format.html { redirect_to post_url(@user, @post) }
        format.xml  { head :ok }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "edit" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @post.errors.to_xml }
      end
    end
  end

  def destroy
    @post.destroy

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to posts_url }
      format.xml  { head :ok }

  end

  private
  def get_user
    @user = User.find(params[:user_id])

Hope that clears it up :)

Don''t you need to stub the User model :find too? (needed in your  
private get_user call)

    private
    def get_user
      @user = User.find(params[:user_id])
      @post = @user.posts.find(params[:id]) if params[:id]
    end

Jonathan,

Yeah something like that. I have no idea how to put it together
properly. I''m beyond confused at this point, that''s why I
could really
use some help.

I figured out my "response" error, but now Im trying to "find all
posts"

Right now I got something like:

    User.should_receive(:posts).with(:all).and_return([@posts])

But I know it should be User.posts.find(:all) - i''m not sure how to
make this a proper behavior check.

How do I setup my mocks to correspond with this?

Thanks.

I usually do something like this in my before(:each) section:

User.stub!(:find).and_return(@u = mock_model(User, :posts => @pc
mock(''posts collection'')))
@pc.stub(:find).and_return([@p = mock_model(Post)])

with the corresponding should_receives in my various examples... the
trick is to mock the user''s posts collection as its own object.

Okay that failed.

I could really use a full blown example with this, just mocking isn''t
going
to "give me insight" anymore I don''t think. If anyone can
post a basic crud
behavior check, w/ nested routes - I''d really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Daniel

Oh my...

I don''t know what happened... but my entire posts_controller_spec
completely exploded and i''m having 31 failures, before I was having
like 8. I''m not sure what is going on, I could REALLY use the help.

I really appreciate the help guys, once I get over the mountain I''m
sure I''ll understand it :)

Try running the one file with the -b switch to get a full backtrace.

Nope. Thanks for playing ;)

One thing - controller examples used to implicitly re-raise controller
errors. We removed this in response to a bug report, which had the
insidious side-effect of hiding errors without you knowing. If you
upgrade to 1.0.4, you''ll see a call in spec_helper.rb to
raise_controller_errors. This is a new method that lets you do so
explicitly, and is included in spec_helper.rb by default.

I''m thinking this might help expose the problem.

David,

Awesome - well at least it''s telling me something isn''t
working "that well"
anymore.

Instead of the previous "expected success? to return true, got false"

It''s now "Couldn''t find User with ID=1"

But I swore that same code worked before, it looks proper in my pastie
doesn''t it?

*scratches head* - it certainly works when it''s "live".

Alright so I removed the ''nested'' resources, but I still have
another
problem. Most of my failures are gone, but I still have three left:


1)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''PostsController handling GET
/posts/1;edit should find the posts requested''
Post expected :find with (any args) once, but received it twice
./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:217:

2)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''PostsController handling POST
/posts should create a new posts''
Mock ''Post_1027'' received unexpected message :user_id= with

`process_without_test''
./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:250:in `do_post''
./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:256:

3)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''PostsController handling POST
/posts should redirect to the new posts''
Mock ''Post_1028'' received unexpected message :user_id= with
(202018)
/Users/sparta/Projects/work/idastudios/podff_machine/config/../app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:36:in

./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:260:

Finished in 0.697209 seconds

38 examples, 3 failures

I don''t understand the first one, but I do have an idea on the
second/third one. I am setting the @post.user_id to the current user
in the controller, I''m trying to mock that behavior but whatever I try
doesn''t work. What would be the proper way? Right now I am doing this:


  it "should create a new posts" do
    Post.should_receive(:user_id).and_return(1)
    Post.should_receive(:new).with({''name'' =>
''Post''}).and_return(@post)
    do_post
  end

still fails with that message though :(

I haven''t thought it through (no pun intended) but maybe this could  
be simplified and generalized , like add a ".through" to the stub and/
or should_receive
??

Jonathon,

Not sure - I don''t really know what to do at this point, but I have a
new problem again lol.

Anyway, I can''t seem to create new mailing messages? I guess I ask to
many...

Well, forgive me - but I''ll just attach it here since I can''t
make a new one.

Hey,

Sorry for so many questions - I''m really bad at this right now.

I''m trying to cover the following code w/ rspec

 def index
   if params[:user_id]
     @user = User.find(params[:user_id])
     @messages = @user.messages
   end
 end

So basically what I''m doing is listing all the messages for a user,
provided there is an id parameter.

describe MessagesController, " handling GET /messages for a user" do

 before do
   @message = mock_model(Message)
   @message.stub!(:user_id).and_return(1)
   @user = mock_model(User)
   @user.stub!(:id).and_return(1)
   User.stub!(:messages).and_return([@message])
   User.stub!(:find).and_return([@user])
 end

 def do_get
   get :index, :user_id => 1
 end

 it "should be successful" do
   do_get
   response.should be_success
 end

 it "should render index template" do
   do_get
   response.should render_template(''index'')
 end

 it "should find all messages" do
   User.should_receive(:messages).and_return([@message])
   do_get
 end

 it "should assign the found messages for the view" do
   do_get
   assigns[:messages].should == [@message]
 end
end


I''m trying to use the basic scaffold spec, but I''m absolutely
clueless
on what the proper way to handle this is, I''m not even sure the proper
way I should mock the messages method, so it''ll return a
"stub?" of a
collection, or whatever the proper term is.

I''m sorry you have to deal with a newb, but if you could really help
me out I''d appreciate it a ton, thanks!

Here is the correct spec for this index action:

def index
if params[:user_id]
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
@messages = @user.messages
end
end

describe MessagesController, " handling GET /messages for a user" do
before do
   @user = mock_model(User)
   @messages = mock("messages")
   @user.stub!(:messages).and_return(@messages)
   User.stub!(:find).and_return(@user)
end

def do_get
   get :index, :user_id => 1
end

it "should render index template" do
   do_get
   response.should render_template(''index'')
end

it "should find user with params[:user_id]" do
   User.should_receive(:find).with(1).and_return(@user)
   do_get
end

it "should get user''s messages" do
   @user.should_receive(:messages).and_return(@messages)
   do_get
end

it "should assign the found messages for the view" do
   do_get
   assigns[:messages].should be(@messages)
end
end


Hope that helps you out.

Daniel,

Which of these examples is failing? Or, are you asking a more general  
question about how to use a mock or a stub? I''m going through my own  
pains trying to learn this stuff, so my perspective might be close to  
yours! Please scroll down; I have a couple of in-line questions for ya!

Can you tell me where you found the basic scaffold spec? I haven''t  
seen it yet. I''ve been learning by studying the docs from the rspec  
site.

Are you having a problem ensuring that the @messages variable in your  
controller has an array of messages after a GET?

I think I can explain the use of a stub or mock if this is really  
your question.

Thanks,
