Hello all.

I'm working with rails and came to a situation that i cannot imagine
how to test this.

Given i have an index action that retrieves me a collection of
objects.
But some of them have especific permissions.


My index action act like this:
- retrieve public objects.
- retrieve permission 1 objects.
- retrieve permission 2 objects.

So i have to write 3 tests.

it "should retrieve public objects"

context "permission 1"
  it " should retrieve permission 1 objects"
context "permission 2"
  it "should retrieve permission 2 objects"


Until here no problems because only conditional tests and method
calls.

But how i would test the "Index.retrieve_objects_from_permission1" ?

supose i have

class  Index < ActiveRecord::Base
   has_many :permissions
   def self.retrieve_objects_from_permission1
       Index.all(:conditions => "permissions.id = 1", :include
=> :permissions)
   end

    def has_permission1
       !self.permissions.find_by_id(1).nil?
    end
end


My Index.retrieve_objects_from_permission1 would be:

it "should retrieve objects that have permission 1" do
   @collection = Index.retrieve_objects_from_permission1
   @collection.each do |c|
       c.has_permission1.should == true
    end
end

Is it right? ( I didn't see it before on other's code, so i don't
think it's right.)


Sorry for my poor english. i hope I have been clear enough.


Thank you :)
