Hi, I'm testing for action caching via RSpec. Currently the method that is cached is in a controller. I'm able to call this method using `subject.send(:method_name)` Thanks to this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5200326/rspec-testing-calling-controller-method-received-nomethoderror.
I want to test a scenario to check if action caching is perfectly working. My test case goes something like this:- **Step 1** : Call the action which is cached. This action has an instance variable which stores queried results of user specific stats like number of users belonging to each of the areas out of a number of areas within a city. I need to fetch the initial set of results some how from the controller to my spec file.( **The question is how do I do that ?**) **Step 2**: Update an area for a single user. This would change the overall stats wrt this area(if it already exists) or would add a new area if its completely unique. **Step 3**: Recall the cached action, and check If I am still able to end up with the old results, not the latest changes as of what was done in step 2; in terms area stats for the users. Now to do this, I need to use the instance variable result as in Step 1, with an instance variable result I obtain after recalling the cached action this very Step. **Step 4**: Finally , comparing both results, they should be same. This would pass my test case. The **BIG** Question again, how do I access the local variable(s) of a controller method in my spec file? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
