Thanks David...I am using jRuby on Rails1.5.0 and following are the
details of gems:-
rails-2.3.5
rspec-1.3.0
rspec-rails-1.3.2
My script needs to test the create channel method based on a condition
given by checkChannel? which I have stubbed as true.If true it should
render the action createchannel.
As mentioned above I used response.should
render_template("createchannel").It gave me the following error
NoMethodError in 'ChannelsController should re-direct to create
channel'
undefined method `response' for
#<ActiveSupport::TestCase::Subclass_1:0x14b2263>
When I removed all statements and kept only post :createchannel in the
if block,it gave me
NoMethodError in 'ChannelsController should render the
createchannelpage'
undefined method `post' for
#<ActiveSupport::TestCase::Subclass_1:0x1f5205c>
Is there any gem that needs to be installed that would make this work
and if yes is it compatible with jRuby on Rails?
Regards
Chandrika
