Good new and good news. First, I'm starting from the floor up. (The groundwork is still past my anxiety threshhold.) I've saved all the preexisting work to a refactor_me file in the rails_root; starting over:
== test code require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper' describe "bidding on an item" do controller_name :items before :each do @user = User.first User.stub!(:current_user).with(@user) puts @user.id, @user.login end it "should require a credit" do @user.credits = 0 @user.save post 'bid', :bid => {:auction_id => 1, :user_id => @user, :point => 1} assigns[:bid].should_not be_new_record end it "should be allowed with a credit" do @user.credits = 1 @user.save post 'bid', :bid => {:auction_id => 1, :user_id => @user, :point => 1} assigns[:bid].should be_new_record end end == application code def bid if can_bid?(current_user) @bid = Bid.new(params[:bid]) @bid.save end end def can_bid?(user) user.credits > 0 end == Errors 1 quentin F1 quentin == Was expecting 1 A F1 A (rather than the bort fixtures) == auction_spec.rake namespace :db do desc "Erase and fill the test database for auction spec" task :auction_spec => "test" do require 'populator' require 'faker' [Item, Auction, User, Charity].each(&:delete_all) . . . # Create activated non-admin user user = User.create do |u| u.login = 'A' u.password = u.password_confirmation = 'foobar' u.email = 'a...@pandawin.com' u.pref_charity_one_id = 1 u.pref_charity_two_id = 2 u.pref_charity_three_id = 3 u.credits = 10 end # Activate non-admin user user.register! user.activate! . . . end end == I feel open to constructive criticism, now, as to the method of using test records. Though I'm not sure what my question is..
