similar to: How to spec a model method

I''m trying to jump on the TDD/BDD bandwagon, but am having trouble understanding how i should mock my user. The user has a habtm relationship to a roles model (acl_system2 plugin), but I''m not sure how to tell rspec about a model. My code: describe UsersController do integrate_views before(:each) do @user = mock_model(User)

(Nuby to Ruby and Rails...) I''ve implemented security using the login generator in a simple app so that I have a user table, a roles table, and a join between them (roles_users). All works as expected. I now need to check if a user has a specific role, but my approach is off somehow. Here''s what I''ve tried thusfar: user_roles = @session[:user].roles

Hi all, I am having trouble trying to use reflect_on_association method with given the simplified model: class Order < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :contractor, :class_name => "BusinessUnit" end I expected the reflect_on_association method to return associated_foreign_key "contractor_id" but it returns "business_unit_id": ruby-1.9.2-p0 >

Hi, I''m a bit stuck with mocking a unit test of a join model with regards to a validates_uniqueness_of clause.

So I just found out that I sort my models via folders and am starting a new project to mess around with this some.

When I''m executing cucumber tests, I noticed that sometimes rails app (in test env.) getting several the same requests (GET or POST) usually around 3, and it doesn''t render anything with empty HTTP status code. Have anyone met something similar to that issue? here is some example of log file: Started POST "/account" for 127.0.0.1 at 2010-11-30 22:34:17 +0200

Rails 2.3.5 I am working on a nested form that assigns roles to users through a table called clearances. I have attr_acessable turned off globally in an initializer: ActiveRecord::Base.send(:attr_accessible, nil) I have this set in clearance.rb attr_accessible(:description, :effective_from, :role_id, :superceded_after, :user_id) And this is what params looks like after the

I have multiple roles in my application. Now I want to block a method for all users except the administrator and a manager. When I do this: before_filter (:check_administrator_role), :only => [:administration] before_filter (:check_taskmanager_role), :only => [:administration] The user must have both roles. How can I change that to an "OR" combination? -- Posted via

I''m stymied at how to create a fixture that establishes a has_many :through relationship. I''ve watched the railscast at: http://media.railscasts.com/videos/081_fixtures_in_rails_2.mov ... but that''s for HABTM relationships. I''ve read: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145676 but that ultimately doesn''t answer any question. So with no further ado:

Hello all, I''m currently having an issue with some specs, specifically scope issues (probably more of a scope issue than a spec issue at this point)... Here''s the error: ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch in ''A new User should know what role it has'' Role expected, got NilClass D:/ruby/projects/restful_authentication_test/config/../app/models/role.rb:5:in

I''m dynamically generating menu options based on the currently logged in user: current_user. My menus are setup on the applicatin.rhtml file.

Hello everyone, I was trying to set up access control in a new application Im working on, I''m trying to use the excellent authorization plugin from Bill Katz, Its pretty straight forward to setup and should be to use.

(This is may be more of a db design question than a rails question.) Summary: I''m thinking of creating a single AR class to hold constant symbol values and use it for :has_many_through relations whenever I need a constant symbol. Is this a good idea or a bad idea? Details: I notice that I have a lot of models that contain just a name string: create_table

Switching our routes file from Rails2 to Rails3 DSl uncovered an odd situation, of my own making, but I am having some difficultly imagining how to fix it. Basically I have a commonplace: user -> user_role (clearance) <- role type arrangement where: User has_many :roles, :through => :clearances has_many :clearances Clearance belongs_to :role belongs_to :user and Role

Hi,- I am looking for a clean and secure way for an ActiveRecord instance to delete itself. Say I have a User model in my app. Then the destructive action would be /users/user_id/destroy. If this action is not secured by a filter like: (*) before_filter :check_administrator_role, :only => :destroy then any user could potentially log in and start issuing: /users/1/destroy /users/2/destroy .
