Struggling mightily!
Testing a controller called Govtpositions. Just focusing on testing
the create method for the moment. I would imagine there should be two
examples for a successful save... instantiate the model object and
then save it, is that right?
So just to test the model object instantiation, I have:
describe GovtpositionsController, do
before do
Govtposition.stub!(:new).and_return(@govtposition)
end
it "should create a new govt position model" do
@govtposition = mock_model(Govtposition)
@params = {"name"=>"chief"}
Govtposition.should_receive(:new).with(@params).and_return
(@govtposition)
end
end
This fails, with the reason that @govtposition is receiving an
unexpected :save. Well I didn't intend to test save, I was planning to
write another example for that assertion. Why can't I just test object
creation in it's own example, must I also test saving in the same
example? I'm clearly missing something basic!
thanks in advance for any insight you can offer
