hi, all,
the spec above is found in my controller spec for a 'category'
resource.
It's a generated spec.
----- start extract --------------------------------------------
describe "PUT update" do
describe "with valid params" do
it "updates the requested category" do
category = Category.create! valid_attributes
# Assuming there are no other categories in the database, this
# specifies that the Category created on the previous line
# receives the :update_attributes message with whatever params
are
# submitted in the request.
Category.any_instance.should_receive(:update_attributes).with({'these'
=> 'params'})
put :update, :id => category.id, :category => {'these' =>
'params'}
end
----- end extract --------------------------------------------
When the spec is run, it fails with the error below.
----- start extract --------------------------------------------
1) CategoriesController PUT update with valid params updates the
requested category
Failure/Error: put :update, :id => category.id, :category =>
{'these' => 'params'}
#<Category:0x000001017cd498> received :update_attributes with

Failed examples:
rspec ./categories_controller_spec.rb:85 # CategoriesController PUT
update with valid params updates the requested category
----- end extract --------------------------------------------
My 'update' method in the categories controller file itself has one
added rule for which
I will assign the current user's id to the updated_by attribute
before a call to update_attribute is made.
----- start extract --------------------------------------------
# PUT /categories/1
# PUT /categories/1.json
def update
# Record current user's id as he/she created the part
params[:category][:updated_by] = current_user.id
@category = Category.find(params[:id])
respond_to do |format|
if @category.update_attributes(params[:category])
format.html { redirect_to @category, notice: 'Category was
successfully updated.' }
format.json { head :ok }
else
format.html { render action: "edit" }
format.json { render json: @category.errors,
status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
----- end extract --------------------------------------------
Can someone please tell me what does 'these' refer to in the spec?
Where can I read up more about them?
I would like to fix the failing spec example.
Thank you
Gorodn
