I have been toying with rspec for a couple of days in a new project, but
I'm running into something that looks a bit weird, and I'm not sure if I am
doing it right. I'm using padrino with mongoid. I have been using
shoulda-like matchers (mongoid-rspec), but it seems I am duplicating a lot
of code, and I'm not sure I am really adding any value.... I'm writing a
lot of
it { should validate_presence_of(:name) }
it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:clinical_record) }
ecc.....
For example, I have an Appointment model, that have the saturation of the
Patient, the saturation must be an integer and between 1 and 100. In the
model, I can write:
# models/appointment.rb
validates :saturation, numericality { only_integer: true, greater_than: 0,
less_than_or_equal_to: 100 }
field :saturation, type: Integer
# spec/models/appointment_spec.rb
it { should
validate_numericality_of(:saturation).greater_than(0).less_than_or_equal_to(100)
}
This obviously pass, but I realized this wasn't testing a real use, so
since some models were particularly long, I thought using a factory would
help:
# spec/models/appointment_spec.rb
# I also tried to start using boundary testing since I was going to start
testing ranges
it "should not allow saturation over 100" do
appointment = build(:appointment, saturation: 101)
expect(Appointment.create(saturation: appointment.saturation)).to_not
be_valid
end
^ pass
But it looks kind of ugly, and since I have to make a couple more examples
(not allowing 0 [or less], allowing edge cases [1 and 100], ecc) am I doing
this right? I have some small models, but very long specs :/
Regards =)
