Hi everyone, RSpec newbie here. I'm looking forward to interacting with the
community as I learn more about TDD, RSpec, Rails, and... TDD through RSpec
in Rails.
Having watched the Peepcode screencasts and read a lot of documentation, I'm
trying to write my first comprehensive applications using TDD from the
ground up. I'm stuck writing a test for my controller, though.
This application is your basic crappy social network. There are three
relevant models in play right now: User, Group, and Membership. User and
Group have :has_many relationships with each other :through Membership;
Membership, in addition to having a user_id and a group_id, also has a
column called "rank", to which I write in either "officer" or "member" as a
value.
Group also defines the following relationships just for convenience:
has_many :memberships
has_many :officers, :through => :memberships, :source => :user,
:conditions => "rank = 'officer'"
has_many :members, :through => :memberships, :source => :user, :conditions
=> "rank = 'member'"
I'm trying to test the CREATE functionality in my Group controller.
Unfortunately, this test is not working.
it "should make the creating user an officer" do
Group.stub!(:new).and_return(mock_group(:save => true))
post :create, :group => {}
assigns[:group].should have(1).officer
end
The error message:
Mock 'Group_1008' received unexpected message :officer with (no args)
If I understand this correctly, I am getting the error because
assigns[:group] isn't really an ActiveRecord object, just a mock, and I
guess the relationships don't carry over? If this is the case, what's the
right way to test it, assuming that a Membership really is being created in
my controller's create function?
Thanks,
O.
