I have two situations where I am getting undefined method errors when the
code works as expected.
Example 1:
Here is the rspec error
Failure/Error: before { visit user_path(user) }
ActionView::Template::Error:
undefined method `*visible?*' for nil:NilClass
# ./app/views/users/show.html.erb:3:in
`_app_views_users_show_html_erb__3654591023925520049_70206011948440'
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:12:in `block (3 levels) in <top
(required)>'
Here is a portion of the code in show.html.erb
<% when current_user?(@user) || (!current_user?(@user) && *
current_user.visible?* && @user.visible && @user.active_user == '3') ||
current_user.admin? %>
<% provide(:title, @user.first_name+' '[email protected]_name) %>
<aside class="span4">
<section><br>
<%= gravatar_for @user %>
<span style="font-weight: bold; padding-left: 5px; color: #f8ee5f;
font-size: 136%;"><%= @user.first_name %> <%= @user.last_name %></span><br>
<span style="padding-left: 5px;"><%= @user.city %>, <%=
@user.state_province %>, <!-- <%= @state_name %> --> <%= @country_name
%></span><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; padding-left: 5px; color:
#f8ee5f;">Username: </span><span style="padding-left: 5px;"><%=
@user.username %></span><br><br>
<span style="word-wrap: break-word; text-align: justify; width:
305px;"><%= @user.bio %></span>
<% if current_user?(@user) %>
<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;"><%= link_to 'Click here
to edit your profile!', edit_user_path(@user) %></span>
<% end %>
</section> .......etc.
Here is the code in user_pages_spec.rb
before { visit user_path(user) }
Example 2 - These tests were working then all of a sudden they quit working
without any code changes. The code works as expected.
Here is the rspec error
Failure/Error: expect { click_button submit }.to change(User,
:count).by(1)
NoMethodError:
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
# ./app/mailers/user_mailer.rb:14:in `acctcre_email'
# ./app/controllers/users_controller.rb:48:in `create'
# (eval):2:in `click_button'
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:215:in `block (5 levels) in <top
(required)>'
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:215:in `block (4 levels) in <top
(required)>'
Here is the code in user_mailer
def acctcre_email(user)
@user = user
*@country_name = @user.country.name*
# @state_name = @user.state.name
email_with_name = "#{@user.first_name} #{@user.last_name}
<#{@user.email}>"
mail(to: email_with_name, bcc: "[email protected]", subject:
"You have successfully created an iktusNET User Account!!")
end
Here is the code in user_pages_spec.rb
it "should create a user" do
*expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)*
end
By any chance is there a possibility that I need to reset rspec somehow.
The tests like example 2 started failing with no code changes at
all. Also from time to time rspec errors would disappear with no coding
changes.
Here are the gems I am using in my Rails application:
gem 'rspec-rails', '2.11.0'
gem 'guard-rspec', '1.2.1'
gem 'guard-spork', '1.2.0'
gem 'spork', '0.9.2'
gem 'rb-fsevent', '~> 0.9.1'
gem 'growl'
gem 'capybara', '1.1.2'
gem 'factory_girl_rails', '4.1.0'
gem 'cucumber-rails', '1.2.1', require: false
gem 'database_cleaner', '0.7.0'
Any help would be appreciated.
