Hi All, I'd like to get some other's opinions on testing controllers.
Say I have a model and I want to prevent deletion of instances of it. The controllers's destroy action simply redirects to an error page - nothing else. Lets assume the relevant views have no links or buttons to delete the instance. I want to ensure that on receipt of a DELETE request for an instance of that model, that the application does in fact disallow the deletion and redirects to an error page. Should I create a cucumber test, with a step that would call something like: "delete url_for(...)"? Or should I leave it to a Controller RSpec? I have implemented both, the RSpec is working fine but I'm having trouble getting cucumber to follow the redirect and therefore my "Then I should be on error page" fails. I'd like to know if such a cucumber test is unnecessary. Should I even have such a cucumber test if the user cannot generate the condition/action/event through normal use of the application? If the controller RSpec proves that the controller responds with a redirect response to the correct page, is that all I need? Thanks in advance, Cathal. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
