> Is it good to tests only if the controller render a template or redirect to
> another action?
My typical controller testing style is something like:
describe ArticleController do
describe "#index" do
it "renders the listing" do
article = create(:article)
get :index
response.should be_success
response.should_not be_redirect
assigns[:articles].should == [article]
end
end
describe "#show" do
it "shows the record" do
article = create(:article)
get :show, :id => article.id
response.should be_success
response.should_not be_redirect
assigns[:article].should == article
end
end
describe "#create" do
it "creates a record" do
expect {
post :create, :article => { :body => 'hot bod' }
}.to change { Article.count }.by(1)
response.should redirect_to articles_url
end
it "renders the new template on failure" do
Article.any_instance.should_receive(:save).and_return(false)
expect {
post :create, :article => { :body => 'hot bod' }
}.to_not change { Article.count }
response.should_not be_redirect
response.should render_template(:new)
assigns[:article].should be_instance_of(Article)
assigns[:article].should be_new_record
end
end
# etc...
