hi all :)
Found a spec failing today.
Not sure why.
When I run my application and successfully added a new object, i can
see
1) a redirection has taken place to the index page as expected (302
code returned) from the console
2) the flash notice's message being displayed in the index page
BUT
when I run the specs (see below), it fails indicating that the
redirection did not occur (as a 200 code was returned) AND
that the flash notice message was nil.
---------specs error start -------------------------------------
1) PartsController saves the new part object successfully sets the
flash with a success message
Failure/Error: flash[:notice].should eq('Part was successfully
created.')
expected: "Part was successfully created."
got: nil
(compared using ==)
# ./spec/controllers/parts_controller_spec.rb:35:in `block (3
levels) in <top (required)>'
2) PartsController saves the new part object successfully redirects
the user back to the parts index page
Failure/Error: response.should redirect_to( :action => 'index' )
Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was <200>
# ./spec/controllers/parts_controller_spec.rb:39:in `block (3
levels) in <top (required)>'
--------- specs error end -------------------------------------
--------- extract of spec/controllers/parts_controller_spec.rb - start
------------------
context 'saves the new part object successfully' do
before(:each) do
post :create, :part => { 'title' => 'HKS boost
controller' }
end
# we could combine the 2 specs below to save on the post
request
# to the create action but having 2 separate specs would give
# clarity
it 'sets the flash with a success message' do
flash[:notice].should eq('Part was successfully created.')
end
it 'redirects the user back to the parts index page' do
response.should redirect_to( :action => 'index' )
end
end
--------- extract of spec/controllers/parts_controller_spec.rb - end
------------------
I'm not sure what's going on :(
-------- "parts_controller.rb" - start
-------------------------------
# POST /parts
# POST /parts.xml
def create
# Record current user's id as he/she created the part
params[:part][:created_by] = current_user.id
params[:part][:updated_by] = current_user.id
@part = Part.new(params[:part])
respond_to do |format|
if @part.save
flash[:notice] = 'Part was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to(parts_path) }
format.xml { render :xml => @part, :status
=> :created, :location => @part }
format.json {
@parts = Part.all;
render :json => @parts
}
else
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @part.errors, :status
=> :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
-------- "parts_controller.rb" - end -------------------------------
