The problem is probably due to assignment of the photo attachment. I got a unit test working with:
test "the partial" do design = Design.new :photo => File.new(Rails.root + "test/ fixtures/images/rails.png") p design.photo(:medium) render :partial => "main/design", :locals => { :design => design }, :layout => false assert_select "div.product-img a.product-link img[src^='/designs/ photos//medium_rails.png']" end On Jan 16, 10:46 am, poseid <mulder.patr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to get going with development of view components with > Rspec2 and Rails3. > However, I make the following observation, and I don't understand what > is going on, and how to fix this. > > In my spec I define: > > describe "main/index.html.erb" do > it "displays a photo url in products partial" do > assign(:designs, [stub_model(Design, :name => "test", :photo => > "photo_url")]) > > render > rendered.should contain("photo_url") > end > end > > When I run: > > rspec spec/view/main_spec.rb > > I get this error: > > 1) main/index.html.erb displays a photo url in products partial > Failure/Error: render > ActionView::Template::Error: > undefined method `photo' for nil:NilClass > # ./app/views/main/_design.html.erb:3:in > `_app_views_main__design_html_erb__2937334847274155273_2170841960__1566661024965846011' > # ./app/views/main/index.html.erb:25:in > `_app_views_main_index_html_erb__837234277009287876_2170861440__898201527838028543' > # ./spec/views/main_spec.rb:7:in `block (2 levels) in <top > (required)>' > > However, if I only 'access' a local photo object in my partial > everything passes.
