Hi David, I'm giving a try to RSpec after we meet each other on
Rails Summit Latin America and I must admit I'm enjoying using rspec/
machinist/faker.
Since I have not written any controllers yet, I hadn't taken a
chance to try webrat.
But there is a situation that I would like some feedback on how to
deal with it.
When registering new users, they will input their e-mail and a
message will be sent for them to confirm their addresses and
continue registering.
I use something like:
MailNotifier.deliver_email_confirmation_message :confirmation_url =>
url_for(:controllers => 'users', :action =>
'continue_register', :user => @user.id, :token =>
@user.confirmation_token)
And the routes are set to ':controller/:action', so that the url
would translate to '/users/continue_register?
user=2&confirmation_token=asdf987asf'.
The problem is that Ruby 1.8 will not maintain any specific order
for the parameters. (The application is hosted in a shared server at hostingrails.com
, which hosts Ruby 1.8)
I know that I could add a route to generate '/users/
continue_register/2/asdf987asf' instead, but I would still like to
know what would be the alternatives.
Oi Rodrigo,
There's no great alternative that I know of. I've always just grabbed
the URL using a regexp and then broken it up. Something like this:
text.should =~ /http:\/\/test\.host\/users\/continue_register\?([^\s]*)/
query_string = $1
query_string.should =~ /user=2/
query_string.should =~ /confirmation_token=asdf987asf/
You could also use Rack::Utils.parse_query to convert the query_string
to hash, or capture the entire url and use the route_to matcher:
text.should =~ /(http:\/\/test\.host\/users\/continue_register\?[^\s]*)/
{:get => $1}.should route_to(
:controllers => 'users',
:action => 'continue_register',
:user => @user.id,
:token => @user.confirmation_token
)
I don't love either of those - I'd sooner change the implementation to
something deterministic, but that's me :)
How could I verify that the delivered message contains a correct
url? I know that I should follow the url in an acceptance test, but
I'm just trying to test that the message is been correct generated,
in a unit test.
Please, let me know if I missed something conceptually while testing
this situation.
Thanks for RSpec and the tips about machinist, faker and webrat.
Just one more doubt. When using machinist, is it possible to ignore
the blueprint while calling 'make' on an ActiveRecord class? I had
to create a named blueprint reseting all fields set by the blueprint.
I don't know of a way of to do this, but why do you need to? You may
want to look at a couple of other libraries like Fixjour, Fixture
Replacement and Factory Girl - they serve the same function as
Machinist, but don't (afaik) add methods to ActiveRecord::Base.
It was nice to meet you.
O prazer foi meu.
Tchau,
David
Best Regards,
Rodrigo.
