I agree with you and I'd also like to be able to call methods of other
controllers at the beginning. However I understood that functional tests
are
limited to just one controller and found another and better way to test
multiple controllers. Let's look at an example (I'm using rspec):
# This is testing UserController
post :signin, "user" => { "login" => "testuser", "password" =>
"password" }
response.should redirect_to(:controller => "welcome", :action =>
"index")
This leaves me at the same point where a signin failure would be, i.e. a
redirection to the home page. I'd like to check the destination page
with
get :controller => "welcome", :action => "index"
response.should have_text("<p>Welcome <strong>testuser</strong>!</p>")
but that's not possible because the home page is served by another
controller.
The solution is testing the authentication in integration tests. This is
what they are for. Just for reference, this is an rspec story for that
(there isn't much documentation on this subject, so let's spread it a
little)
Story "Signing in", %{ A user wants to sign in }, :type => RailsStory
do
Scenario "A user signs in" do
Given "An existing user" do
create_test_user
end
When "signing in with the right login and password" do
post signin_users_url,
:user => { :login => "testuser", :password => "password" }
end
Then "gets redirected to the home page" do
response.should redirect_to(:controller => "welcome",
:action => "index")
end
And "gets welcomed by login" do
get "/"
response.should include_text("<p>Welcome
<strong>testuser</strong>!</p>")
end
end
end
By the way, the get/post methods are autogenerated. They are called by
http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActionController/TestProcess.html#M000588
You can look at it inside
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb
or the equivalent file in your installation. The method generation is a
few lines before the "def process".
