similar to: testing ajax responder actions

I''m trying to use rspec to test a controller that has ajax. I have the following action: def change_ad_type_form render :update do |page| page.replace_html ''ad_sub_form'', :partial => ''text'' end end and the following spec: specify "should return Text subform on AJAX request to change_ad_type_form" do

https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/12374#issuecomment-29446761 Here in discussion I proposed to deprecate JS responder because this technique is insecure and not pragmatic way to transfer data. It can be exploited in this way http://homakov.blogspot.com/2013/05/do-not-use-rjs-like-techniques.html i find this bug very often so i know what i''m talking about. With it attacker can

Still a semi-newbie, but so far I''ve managed to solve most things with a bit of help from the Agile book, some googling around, and a bit of trial-and-error, but I''m really stuck with this one (very much an Ajax newbie): I know how to gracefully degrade an AJAX newpost type call so it can appear inline or (for those without JS support) go to a new page (put an ":href

Given this code (which renders rjs), I''m faced with the fixture- driven way of spec-ing or mocking. How the heck to you mock this so the code at line (2) and (4) work right? I''m still struggling with mocks but it seems like this can be done. Forgive the naivety of this question. 1. def change_quantity 2. @line_item = LineItem.find_by_id(params[:id]) 3. unless

I''m tyring to write a unit test that uses a get() method to simulate a get request in my functional test. However, get wants an action, and I have a URL. I''m trying to redirect to a URL the user tried to hit before logging in. After they login I want to go back to the URL they originally tried. I can''t find the get() method code in the help or otherwise. I

Hi! I try to get AJAX running on a mobile Windows Mobile 5.0 based device and failed. There should be a JavaScript support but nothing happens. Have any of you experience with the rails javascripts on a this platform or are there any hints, documentation on the net? tia, -- Daniel V?lkerts Protected by Anti Pesto.

How can I make this work ? <a href="#" onclick="new Effect.Fade(@div_id)"></a> @div_id is an instance variable ? TIA -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include

Dear everybody I''m trying to develop a web application that makes use of AJAX, but also works if a user has no (or doesn''t want to use) JS. For normal requests, this is pretty easy. Almost every action ends with render blahblah, :layout => !request.xhr? This way, I can use the same action to render a full page (with layout) as well as rendering an AJAX request (only the

link_to_remote generates the javascript: new Ajax.Updater(...). Have I missed something or doesn''t this handle browsers with javascript support but without XHR support? What I''d like to do is: 1. If the browser supports XHR, use XHR 2. If the browser supports javascript (and perhaps even if the XHR request fails) do a POST via javascript 3. If the browser doesn''t

Hi I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are not shareable? eg describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do controller_name :gap # ... end describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote" # ... end blows up with

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to

Hi everyone, I am a bit confused with xhr? and respond_to. I have the folloing code in my view to update the ''emails'' ID link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails", :url => { :action => "list_emails" }) in the controller side i have somthing like : [..] respond_to do |type| type.html { render :action

can someone help me with this i have a table cars ( id int model_id int make_id int color_id int description text constraint fk_cars_carmake foreign key(make_id) references carmakes(id), constraint fk_cars_carmodel foreign key(model_id) references carmodels(id), constraint fk_cars_color foreign key(color_id) references colors(id) ) carmakes ( id int carmake varchar ) carmodels ( id

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

I''m getting this when I run my Rails controller specs. <projectroot>/config/../lib/authenticated_system.rb:16: warning: Object#id will be deprecated; use Object#object_id I added "include AuthenticatedTestHelper" to /spec/spec_helper.rb so that my controller tests^H^H^H^H^Hspecs can use the "login_as" helper method. Anyone know how to fix this? -- Cheers,

Hi all, In my application, I want seamless degradability so I use request.xhr? to check whether a request is an ajax call. However here and there, I need to use redirect_to - in this case the request is not xhr anymore, and the check doesn''t work as expected. Is there a way to make xhr- like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)? Thanks, - Chuong

... ok, I may be going about this the wrong way, or perhaps, a less efficient way than is optimal, but I would like to test a little bit of AJAX on one of my web pages. When I test this by hand, I bring up the page which shows a select box, I select an item from the drop down list, see another select box show up, go back to the first select box, select a different item, and see something
