Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to test a relationship between two models
using RSpec and Rails 3.1
I included a RSpec file with a sample test that passes. I'm trying to
write a test that will validate assignment of one of the Post Types
and check that it was assigned correctly. This testing the same
behavior as picking a Post Type using a drop-down menu and having it
saved with the new Post.
* How would I write the last test in the sample RSpec file below?
* Is there a good tutorial or resource on testing this kind of
behavior?
* Is this a good way to represent this association? Would has_one/
has_many be better instead of belongs_to/has_many?
Thank you

Code:
The sample data in the Post Types is:
id | value | ...
1 | foo | ...
2 | bar | ...
3 | baz | ...
# app/models/post_type.rb
class PostType < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_reader :name
has_many :posts
end
# app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActibeRecord::Base
attr_accessible :content
belongs_to :post_type
end
# spec/models/post_spec.rb
describe Post do
before :each do
@attr = { :content = "Lorem ipsum" }
end
# ... other tests
describe "post type association" do
before :each do
@post = Post.create @attr
end
it "should have a post type attribute" do
@post.should respond_to :post_type
end
it "should have the right post type"
end
end
