I'm having trouble working out how to test a method that contains a
loop. I'm new to rspec so not sure what the best way is to tackle
this.
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.sync_with_basecamp
companies = basecamp_fetch("companies")
companies.each do |c|
company = self.find_or_initialize_by_name_and_postcode(c.name, c.zip)
company.county = c.state
company.city = c.city
company.save
end
end
end
I started by checking that the number of companies in my mock
companies array was saved:
it "should write all records from array to the database" do
lambda {
Company.sync_with_basecamp
}.should change(Company, :count).by(37)
end
But I'm having trouble figuring out how to check individual records. I
can pull the first record from the mock array:
it "should populate name" do
@company.first.name.should eql("The Media Collective")
end
But I can't check that this has been applied to the method because
rspec doesn't know about the save loop.
it "should populate name" do
@company.name.should eql("The Media Collective")
end
Would appreciate some advice on how to tackle this please from someone
more familiar with rspec than me.
