[rspec-users] possible to stub params hash ?

Hi,

I added one line in my controller to extend the params hash. But now I get
errors
in my controller spec.

Controller

 def update
 @pl_planning = PlPlanning.find(params[:id])

 # the item model version (select box) depends on other select boxes and can be
empty
 # then it is not in the params hash and the attribute would not be updated and
validated
--> params[:pl_planning]["item_model_version_id"] ||= ""

 # update planning attributes
 @pl_planning.attributes = params[:pl_planning] 
 ...


Controller Spec error:

You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]


What do I have to add in my spec for that ?

I tried:

 params = {"pl_planning" => {}}
 controller.stub!(:params).and_return(params)

But then I get the following error:

undefined method `scope='' for
#<Searchlogic::Cache::PlPlanningSearch:0x6aa14cc>


Thanks in advance
Andrea

Usually you are will fare better if you pass the params directly in:

get :foo, :param1 => "something"

Why are you stubbing params?

[rspec-users] possible to stub params hash ?

Hi,

I tried to stub the params method of the Controller because
I got the error " You have a nil object when you didn''t expect
it!"
for the access to params[:pl_planning]["item_model_version_id"] 
in the update action.

I thought, that the stubbing is not working because of the following error:
"undefined method `scope='' for
#<Searchlogic::Cache::PlPlanningSearch:0x6aa14cc>".

But now I found out, that this error has another reason.
The put :update does not call the update action, it calls the index action.
I will post another email for that problem to the user group.

Thanks
Andrea

[rspec-users] possible to stub params hash ?

The stub for params was the reason, that put :update has called the index
action.
Now I pass the params directly in and it works fine:

put :update, :pl_planning => {"title" => "Project 1"}

 

Scott, thanks a lot for the tip !!!
