Rails 3.1.3
rspec latest
I have started using rspec a few days ago, although I had been developing
in Rails for a while.
I have developed a Rails application without thinking about tests at all,
but recently realized the importance of BDD.
The application has models and controllers that are already in action.
They work fine up to this point. then I installed
rspec and rspec-rails.
I have questions about controller functional test.
The original index of controller is
def index
@gives = Give.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json { render json: @gives }
end
end
The generated default controller_spec.rb is
describe "GET index" do
it "assigns all gives as @gives" do
give = Give.create! valid_attributes
get :index, {}, valid_session
assigns(:gives).should eq([give])
end
end
fixtures/gives.yml is
one:
check_in: true
weight: 4
user_id: 2
day_departure: "2012-12-01"
flight_name_id: 3
with the command
rake db:fixtures:load
If I run command
bundle exec rspec spec/controllers/gives_controller_spec.rb
All tests fail.
and the error corresponding to index is
1) GivesController GET index assigns all gives as @gives
Failure/Error: give = Give.create! valid_attributes
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid:
Validation failed: Flight name can't be blank, Day departure can't
be blank, Check in can't be blank, Weight can't be blank, User can't be
blank
# ./spec/controllers/gives_controller_spec.rb:39:in `block (3 levels)
in <top (required)>'
Questions:
1. Doesn't rspec generate default test codes so that the test will succeed?
2. Can you guess the cause of the error?
3. Doesn't rspec pick up the data from fixtures automatically? (perhaps I
misunderstand the role of fixtures)
