Following is the scenario.
describe BbPostsController, "POST Create" do
context "Admin" do
fixtures :users, :bb_posts, :user_channels, :channels,
:channel_features
it "should save post" do
login_as(:amit)
# Added to pass before filters in controller
controller.stub!(:validate_channel).and_return(true)
controller.stub!(:is_feature_active).and_return(Blog)
controller.stub!(:load_categories).and_return(1)
@post = mock_model( BbPost, :body => "test_description", :title
=> "test123", :abstract => "test_abstract", :channel_feature_id => "v1",
:published => "1", :bb_post_category_id => "1" )
BbPost.stub!(:new).and_return @post
@post.should_receive( :save )
post :create, {:bb_post => {:title => 'test123'}}
response.should redirect_to( blog_bb_posts_url(:channel =>
@channel.brand_name) )
end
Following is the controller code:
class BbPostsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :login_required
before_filter :validate_channel
before_filter :manager_access_required
before_filter :is_feature_active
before_filter :load_categories, :only => [ :new, :edit, :create,
:update ]
# BEFORE FILTER : Feature must active
def is_feature_active
@feature = @channel.channel_features.by_name( BLOG ).active.first
unless @feature
flash[ :notice ] = 'Blog feature was not active.'
redirect_to requests_features_path
end
end
# BEFORE FILTER : Load blog categories
def load_categories
# manager blog will not have admin specific categories
@categories = ( params[ :channel ].camelize == ADMIN_CHANNEL ) ?
BbPostCategory.visible : BbPostCategory.visible.without_admin
end
def create
params[ :bb_post ][ :brand_list ] = ADMIN_CHANNEL if params[
:bb_post ][ :brand_list ].blank?
p params
@bb_post = @feature.posts.new( params[ :bb_post ] )
@bb_post.user = current_user
# CREATE Channel Blog post
respond_to do |format|
if @bb_post.save
flash[ :notice ] = 'Blog post was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to( blog_bb_posts_url ) }
format.xml { render :xml => @bb_post, :status => :created,
:location => @bb_post }
else
load_featured_posts if @bb_post.editorial?
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @bb_post.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
Now if i run my specs,i get an error which says
NoMethodError in 'BbPostsController POST Crete dmin should sve post'
You hve nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evluting nil.posts
Error comes at "@bb_post = @feature.posts.new( params[ :bb_post ] )"
Just above that line i tried to print params and i get following values:
#<BbPost:0x44d1cd8 @nme="BbPost_1001">
{"ction"=>"crete", "controller"=>"bb_posts",
"bb_post"=>{"brnd_list"=>"BrndPotio
n", "title"=>"test123"}}
Can somebody help me with this
Also by using controller.stub!(:validate_channel).and_return(true) can
somebody tell me actually,what exactly happens here.How does it handle
before filters.
