Hi to everyone,
I'm just trying to wrap my mind around BDD and RSpec. I've gone through
"The rails' way" and RSpec webcasts series, and still don't have a clear
vision of RSpec. Is there anything else I could read/watch?
Back in topic...
Now I'm writing specs for a "create" action.
The action is written like this:
def create
authenticate_with_open_id(params[:identity_url], :required => [
:nickname, :email ], :optional => :fullname) do |result, identity_url,
registration|
if result.successful?
@user = User.new
@user.identity_url = identity_url
@user.roles << Role.find_by_name('operator')
@user.user_type = 'operator'
assign_registration_attributes!(registration)
@user.save(false)
redirect_to users_path
else
redirect_to new_user_path
end
end
end
How am I supposed to write a spec to test the code shown above?
I tried with:
it "should check identity_url via OpenID authentication" do
result = mock('Object')
result.should_receive(:successful?).and_return(:true)
@controller.should_receive(:authenticate_with_open_id).with(@identity_url,
:required => [ :nickname, :email ], :optional =>
:fullname).and_return(result)
do_verb
result.should be_successful
end
it "should create a new user using OpenID authentication" do
@controller.stub!(:authenticate_with_open_id)
@user = new_user # thanks to fixture_replacement2
User.stub!(:new).and_return(@user)
@user.should_receive(:save).with(false).and_return(true)
do_verb
end
The first test pass successfully while the second throws havocs on me.
It complains on the "@user.should_receive(:save..." part.
It also complained when I wrote
"User.should_receive(:new).and_return(@user)", so I changed
it to "User.stub!(:new)...". But I don't fully understand why I had to
do so.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Carmine
