Hello,
I'm trying to write a couple of tests but keep getting errors or
failures and I really think it is because I am making a mistake
writing the test, rather than the actual app (just cause it works when
I check it). Anyhow, here goes.
1. I am using EasySearch plugin. When I try to test that search works
fine, I did:
def searches_for_foo
foo = Search.products.with("foo")
get '/catalog/search'
assert_response :success
assert_template "search"
assert_equal 1, Search.products.with("foo").size
assert_tag :tag => "h1", :content => "Search Results for #{foo}"
assert_tag :tag => "a", :attributes => { :href => "/catalog/#
{foo.id}"}
end
And in the catalog controller:
def search
@search_results = Search.products.with(params[:search_string])
unless @search_results.size > 0
flash.now[:notice] = "No products found matching your criteria"
end
end
Error says:
Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <500>
<"You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!\nThe error occurred
while evaluating nil.match">
I understand that it does not see the phrase I am searching for.
Because I get the same error is I go to /catalog/search manually. But
I don't know how to:
a) fix the test
b) fix the controller so I will not see this exception page
2. I have a model for pages with a column whether it is a news pages
or not (boolean)
My test is:
def views_news
get "/news"
assert_response :success
assert_template "index"
@news_months.each do |month, items|
assert_tag :tag => "h3", :content => month
for item in items
assert_tag :tag => "li", :content => item.title
end
end
check_news_links
end
-------------------
The controller has the following:
@news_months = @news.group_by { |t| t.created_at.beginning_of_month }
And the viewer has:
<% @news_months.each do |month, items| -%>
<h3><%= month.strftime('%B %Y')%></h3>
<ul>
<% for item in items %>
<li><%=link_to item.title, news_page_path(item) %></li>
<% end -%>
</ul>
<% end -%>
Error says:
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.each
Now, once again, I understand the error. What I don't know is how to
change the test so it can see each news item.
3. This is more a theoretical question but I wanted your advice on how
much should I test for? how small a detail should I test for?
I know the above are a lot of questions. Really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Elle
