Rails 3.1.3
RSpec latest
I have started using rspec a few days ago, although I had used Rails for a
while.
I have started developing a Rails application without thinking about tests
at all, and in the middle of the development, realized the importance of
BDD (or TDD). (Please don't say "You should have done it from the
beginning")
so many features including models and controllers are already in action.
They work fine up to this point.
Now I have installed rspec and rspec-rails, and generated necessary files
such as xxx_controllers_spec.rb.
Then run the test,
bundle exec rspec spec/controllers/gives_controller_spec.rb
The result is a large list of errors, and I have questions about "index"
part this time.
gives_controller_spec.rb has the following index part by default
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
and the corresponding error 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)>'
and gives.rb is
class Give < ActiveRecord::Base
> after_initialize :set_initial_date
> belongs_to :user
> validates :flight_name_id, :presence => true
> validates :day_departure, :presence => true
> validates :check_in, :presence => true
> validates :weight, :presence => true
> validates :user_id, :presence => true
> belongs_to :flight_name
> def set_initial_date
> @day_departure ||= Date.today
> end
> end
Questions:
1. Doesn't rspec generate default controllers so that the initial test will
succeed?
2. Can you guess the cause of the error?
I also created fixtures/gives.yml
one:
check_in: true
weight: 4
user_id: 2
day_departure: "2012-12-01"
flight_name_id: 3
and ran
rake db:fixtures:load
3. I don't quite understand the role of fixtures. Doesn't rspec
automatically pick up the data from here?
I appreciate if you help me out.
