I've been using a set of matchers that does this plus adds more AR basic matchers (such as validate_presence_of, etc.. - by testing the behavior.) I got the base of my matchers from this blog: http://spicycode.com/2007/4/2/rspec-expecation-matchers-part-ii
I would think that something like this should be worked into rpsec_on_rails. Because it makes testing AR behavior very easy and painless. One line of code = One line of test code. -Ben Jerrett Taylor wrote: > We have a similar one, which works like: > > > Foo.should have_association(:has_many, :conditions => "stuff", :through > => :bazes) > > we started off with should have_many etc, but it became overcomplicated > with all the various things that you may want - so we changed to > have_association to make it simpler and ensure it will work with any/all > association options > > http://pastie.caboo.se/108976 > > > > > > Russell Norris wrote: > >> I recently wrote a matcher for testing AR associations which allows >> you to specify things like: >> >> Foo.should have_many(:bars).through(:bazes) >> >> I'm pretty darned proud of it and a couple of people have suggested >> that I should submit it to the rspec_on_rails project.
