rspec users - Oct 2007 - spec''ing view render partial collection, local variable not found

I''m trying to spec out a render partial collection but I get the
following
error

    game_2 = mock_model(Game,

      :salt_grains => 30000000,
      :people => 20000000,
      :days => 100,
      :created_at => "Mon Sept 01 12:02:44 -0400 2007",
      :enabled => false)
    game_2.should_receive(:name).and_return("Epicbattlegrounds")

    game_2.should_receive(:people).and_return(20000000)
    game_2.should_receive(:days).and_return(100)
    game_2.should_receive(:created_at).and_return("Mon Sept 01 12:02:44

    game_2.should_receive(:enabled).and_return(false)
    @games = [game_1, game_2]
    assigns[:games] = [game_1, game_2]
  end

  it "should show game name" do
    response.should have_text(/The Battle for Blaze/)
    render :partial =>"game", :collection => @games
  end

I think the local variable is showing up nil because my specs in the
index.rhtml were failing when they were fine before and they were saying
they didn''t know what this game variable was.

Any ideas?

Switch these around:

render :partial =>"game", :collection => @games
response.should have_text(/The Battle for Blaze/)

Well when I saw that originally thats what I thought the response was
suppose to come after the render but:

ActionView::ActionViewError in ''/games/_game.rhtml should show game
name''
No rhtml, rxml, rjs or delegate template found for //_game in
/Volumes/EXTERNAL/web/omenking.ca/config/../app/views

games/_game.rhtml does exist.

which maybe I have to state:

  it "should show game name" do
    render :partial =>"games/game", :collection => @games
    response.should have_text(/The Battle for Blaze/)
  end

but then:

1)
ActionView::TemplateError in ''/games/_game.rhtml should show game
name''
You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.name
On line #1 of app/views/games/_game.rhtml

    1: <%= h game.name %>

so the local variable is show up nil.

:collection is something rails uses to render a template multiple
times. RSpec only renders the file once (as intended). Try using
:object:

render :partial =>"games/game", :object => @game

(of course, you''ll have to have setup @game).

Well I think my biggest problem I was having was the fact that my before
block was:

def before
end

instead of

before do
end

So I think its working, although my mock is complaining now:
before do
    game = mock_model(Game,
      :name => ''The Battle for Blaze'',
      :salt_grains => 5000000,
      :people => 5000000,
      :days => nil,
      :created_at => "Mon Oct 01 00:02:44 -0400 2007",
      :enabled => true)
    game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for
Blaze'')
    game.should_receive(:salt_grains).and_return(5000000)
    game.should_receive(:people).and_return(5000000)
    game.should_receive(:days).and_return(nil)
    game.should_receive(:created_at).and_return("Mon Oct 01 00:02:44 -0400
2007")
    game.should_receive(:enabled).and_return(true)
    @game = game
end

1)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''/games/_game.rhtml should show
game
name''
Mock ''Game_1082'' expected :salt_grains with (any args) once,
but received it
0 times
./spec/views/games/_game.rhtml_spec.rb:15:

_game.rhtml_spec

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/../../spec_helper''

describe "/games/_game.rhtml" do
  include GamesHelper

  before do
    game = mock_model(Game,
      :name => ''The Battle for Blaze'',
      :salt_grains => 5000000,
      :people => 5000000,
      :days => nil,
      :created_at => "Mon Oct 01 00:02:44 -0400 2007",
      :enabled => true)
    game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for
Blaze'')
    game.should_receive(:salt_grains).and_return(5000000)
    game.should_receive(:people).and_return(5000000)
    game.should_receive(:days).and_return(nil)
    game.should_receive(:created_at).and_return("Mon Oct 01 00:02:44 -0400
2007")
    game.should_receive(:enabled).and_return(true)

    @game = game
  end

  it "should show game name" do
    render :partial =>"games/game", :locals => {:game =>
@game}
    response.should have_text(/The Battle for Blaze/)
  end

end

When you say full listing did you mean html format?
I cut out most of my specs just to spec the partial.
I only have the one spec in my partial

As soon as I add a second key to the hash it gives me that error

before do
  game = mock_model(Game, :name => ''The Battle for Blaze'',
:enabled =>
''true'')
  game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for
Blaze'')
  game.should_receive(:enabled).and_return(''true'')

  @game = game
end

1)
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in ''/games/_game.rhtml should show
game
name''
Mock ''Game_1082'' expected :enabled with (any args) once, but
received it 0
times
./spec/views/games/_game.rhtml_spec.rb:19:

But if it only has name it works fine.

?!??! I have other mock models setup that don''t give me that trouble.

I outputted name and enabled to see if it the mock object was working.

before do
  game = mock_model(Game, :name => ''The Battle for Blaze'',
:enabled =>
''true'')
  puts game.name
  puts game.enabled
  game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for
Blaze'')
  game.should_receive(:enabled).and_return(''true'')

  @game = game
end

I still got the error but I saw in the print out ''The Battle for
Blaze'' and
''True''
So I for some reason thought that if I write unknowingly in my partial

<%= h game.enabled %> it might pass and it did.


I was thinking that game.should_recieve was test that the mock model being
made received Battle for the Blaze like I was confirming that the the model
was correct.

But then I looked at the code and really thought about it and realized that
what it was saying that the Game model was expecting name to be called at
some point during that spec and since it hadn''t been in the partial
such as
game.name then it would fail.

When I''m working with RSpec I sometimes forget what actually is going
on and
I interpret how things are happening in a different way.

For that pragmatic book will it cover things such as:

how to spec a rendered template
how to spec a rendered partial
how to spec a rendered partial collection
how to spec a cookie
...

or will it be more of a guide like the RSpec Peepcode videos but in book
format with more elaboration.
I don''t think I would have ever spec''d view if I
hadn''t started using story
runner.

I love that story runner.

before do
  game = mock_model(Game, :name => ''The Battle for Blaze'',
:enabled =>
''true'')
  puts game.name
  puts game.enabled
  game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for
Blaze'')
  game.should_receive(:enabled).and_return(''true'')

  @game = game
end

I still got the error but I saw in the print out ''The Battle for
Blaze'' and
''True''
So I for some reason thought that if I write unknowingly in my partial

<%= h game.enabled %> it might pass and it did.


I was thinking that game.should_recieve was test that the mock model being
made received Battle for the Blaze like I was confirming that the the model
was correct.

But then I looked at the code and really thought about it and realized that
what it was saying that the Game model was expecting name to be called at
some point during that spec and since it hadn''t been in the partial
such as
game.name then it would fail.

When I''m working with RSpec I sometimes forget what actually is going
on and
I interpret how things are happening in a different way.

For that pragmatic book will it cover things such as:

how to spec a rendered template
how to spec a rendered partial
how to spec a rendered partial collection
how to spec a cookie
...

or will it be more of a guide like the RSpec Peepcode videos but in book
format with more elaboration.
I don''t think I would have ever spec''d view if I
hadn''t started using story
runner.

I love that story runner.
