I have two models:
Student has_many=>:grad_surveys
and
GradSurvey belongs_to=>:student
I am testing the GradSurveysController#update method with
it "should only allow update if the correct token is presented" do
@params = {:id=>"1", :token=>"ab56e1b47", :survey=>{}}
@mock_grad_survey = mock_model(GradSurvey)
GradSurvey.should_receive(:accepts_as_authorized).with(@params
[:id],@params[:token]).and_return(@mock_grad_survey)
put :update, @params
response.should render_template(:update)
end
Inside the GradSurvey#accepts_as_authorized method is called the
GradSurvey#student method. The test above fails with the message:
Mock 'GradSurvey_1034' received unexpected message :student
with (no args)
However I can make the test pass by adding the :student method to the
@mock_grad_survey object, so
@mock_grad_survey = mock_model(GradSurvey, :student=>mock_model
(Student))
Why is it necessary for me to explicitly add the #student method to
the mock GradSurvey model, it seems to me that it should come for free
as part of the defined association, no? What am I not understanding
here?
thanks in advance for any light you are able to shed
