One good way to see how to write controller specs is to generate one with script/generate (or rails generate if you're using Rails 3). For example, you could create a new rails app (or use your existing one), and generate an rspec_scaffold. Something like this:
rails generate rspec_scaffold Widget name:string .. that will generate a controller spec that will work out of the box if you are using default crud methods. -Bryan On Jul 13, 2011, at 8:54 AM, Peter wrote: > On Jul 12, 4:35 am, Chandu80 <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hello All, >> >> *************************************************************************** >> ******* >> My spec is as follows >> >> require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper' >> >> describe ChannelsController do >> it "should re-direct to create channel" do >> Channel.stub!(:checkChannel?).and_return(1) >> ChannelsController.expect_render(:action => "createchannel") >> >> #view.should_receive(:render).with(:action => "createchannel") >> #render '/channels/createchannel.html.erb' >> end >> >> end >> *************************************************************************** >> ******* >> >> Can anyone please let me know how this can be fixed.? > > > Check out http://rspec.info/rails/writing/controllers.html > Basically you need to do a get or post (in your case probably > post :createchannel) and then there's a response object you can have > expectations on, such as response.should > render_template('createchannel.html'). > > Note, I'm not really sure what the > ChannelsController.expect_render(...) does, I'm unfamiliar with that > syntax. > > Thanks, > \Peter > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
