I am working on Rspec for Controller testing.I am initial leve of
rspec.I have a problem that in Spec/controller directory rspec file is
not taking controller property as (instance varibale,flash notice)
My controller code is as follow
class PortalNewsController < ApplicationController
def index
redirect_to root_path
end
def show
@portal_news = PortalNews.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
format.html {render :action => 'show', :layout => false}#
show.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @portal_news }
end
end
# GET /portal_news/new
# GET /portal_news/new.xml
def new
@portal_news = PortalNews.new
respond_to do |format|
format.html # new.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @portal_news }
end
end
# GET /portal_news/1/edit
def edit
@portal_news = PortalNews.find(params[:id])
end
# POST /portal_news
# POST /portal_news.xml
def create
@portal_news = PortalNews.new(params[:portal_news])
puts "arundjfhdjfh"
respond_to do |format|
if @portal_news.save
flash[:notice] = 'PortalNews was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to root_path }
format.xml { render :xml => @portal_news, :status => :created,
:location => @portal_news }
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @portal_news.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PUT /portal_news/1
# PUT /portal_news/1.xml
def update
@portal_news = PortalNews.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @portal_news.update_attributes(params[:portal_news])
flash[:notice] = 'PortalNews was successfully updated.'
format.html { redirect_to root_path }
format.xml { head :ok }
else
flash[:notice] = 'PortalNews was not successfully updated.'
format.html { render :action => "edit" }
format.xml { render :xml => @portal_news.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /portal_news/1
# DELETE /portal_news/1.xml
def destroy
@portal_news = PortalNews.find(params[:id])
@portal_news.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to root_path }
format.xml { head :ok }
end
end
private
# Check for superadmin
def is_superadmin?
if !current_user.is_superadmin
flash[:error] = "Permission denied."
redirect_to root_path
end
end
end
And my rspec file code is
rspec/controllers/portal_news_controller_spec.rb
require File.dirname(__FILE__) +'/../spec_helper'
describe PortalNewsController do
integrate_views :true
controller_name :portal_news
it "should_be_redirect_to_root_path" do
get :index
response.should redirect_to('/login')
end
it "should_show " do
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:find).returns(@portal_news)
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:show).returns(true)
get :show, :id=>1
response.should render_template('show')
end
it "should_redirect_to_root_with_successfull_notice" do
post :create,:heading=>nil
assigns[:portal_news].errors.on(:heading).should_not be_nil
flash[:error].should_not be_nil
end
it "should_re-render_new_template_on_failed_save" do
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:valid?).returns(false)
post :create
assigns[:portal_news].should be_new_record
flash[:notice].should be_nil
response.should render_template('http://test.host/portal_news/new')
end
it"should_pass_the_param_value" do
post :create,:portal_news => {:user_id => 11}
assigns[:portal_news].user_id.should =11
end
it "should_be update_on_valid_attributes" do
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:find).returns(@portal_news)
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:update_attributes).with(@portal_news).returns(true)
put :update, :id =>23
response.should redirect_to('/login')
flash[:notice].should_not be_nil
end
it "should_be update_on_invalid_attributes" do
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:find).returns(@portal_news)
PortalNews.any_instance.stubs(:update_attributes).with(@portal_news).returns(false)
put :update, :id =>23
response.should redirect_to('/login')
flash[:notice].should_not be_nil
end
it "should_check_variable" do
put :update,:id =>{:user_id =>11}
assigns[:id].user_id.should =11
end
end
And i am geeting error as follow
1 NoMethodError in 'PortalNewsController
should_redirect_to_root_with_successfull_notice'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.errors
2 NoMethodError in 'PortalNewsController
should_re-render_new_template_on_failed_save'
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.new_record?

Please post solution of this problem
3 NoMethodError in 'PortalNewsController should_pass_the_param_value'
