1) Error:

test/functional/brands_controller_test.rb:27:in
`test_create_valid'
Here's the relevant line in brand.rb:
has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :approximate_ascii =>
true
Here's the test (using mocha):
def test_create_valid
Brand.any_instance.stubs(:valid?).returns(true)
post :create
assert_redirected_to brand_url(assigns(:brand))
end
I'm gonna take a stab at this and say it's because you're not
posting a name parameter to the create action. Therefor, the create
action is trying to create a new Brand w/out a name. Since you're
using the friendly_id gem and configuring the Brand model to use its
"name" field as the friendly id, you must provide a name else you
get FriendlyId::BlankError.
Here's the fixture:
one:
name: MyString
image_file_name: MyString
image_content_type: MyString
image_file_size: 1
image_updated_at: 2011-08-03 10:49:03
tease: MyText
description: MyText
Doesn't really matter what you have in your fixtures since you're
simulating a request that results in a call to your #create action
in your controller which will create a new (blank) Brand record.
All other tests pass, and if I comment out has_friendly_id, the create
tests pass as well. Does this ring any bells for anyone?
Okay, thanks to Kendall and the Test Prescriptions book, I think I
have it fixed. This works:
def test_create_valid
b = Brand.any_instance
b.stubs(:name).returns('MyString')
b.stubs(:valid?).returns(true)
post :create
assert_redirected_to brand_url(assigns(:brand))
end
For some reason, having stubs(:valid?).returns(true) before
stubs(:name).returns('MyString') made it continue to fail, while
putting the name in first worked. Posting this so I can find it again
later when I forget...

Thanks in advance,
