Re: [Rails] Re: Cucumber test question
Thanks Kosmas, I will try that as well as the advice from Alexandru-Emil
and see if I can make some progress. Yes I am on the cukes list so I will
definitely post there if I am still having issues.

Hello all,
I am trying to understand when I try to run a test in cucumber what I am
missing that it is failing. I am using FactoryGirl to create my records and
using cucumber to test my logic however I know that I am doing something
wrong in my testing I just can't seem to figure out what. Here is what I
have:
Feature:
Feature: All features related to staff info
Scenario: notification for empty shirt size
Given there is at least 1 staff info record
When the shirt size field is empty
And the shirt size check is run
Then the system should send an email notification
Steps:
Given(/^there is at least (\d+) staff info record$/) do |arg1|
assert_difference('StaffInfo.count', 1) do
@staff_info = FactoryGirl.create :staff_info
end
end
When(/^the shirt size field is empty$/) do
assert @staff_info.update_attribute(:shirt_size, nil)
end
When(/^the shirt size check is run$/) do
StaffInfo.check_empty_shirt_fields
end
Then(/^the system should send an email notification$/) do
pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
end
Model:
class StaffInfo ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :person
scope :empty_shirt_fields, - { where('shirt_size in (?)', [nil, '']) }
def self.check_empty_shirt_fields
staff_with_missing_shirt_sizes = StaffInfo.empty_shirt_fields
debugger
send_empty_shirt_size_notification staff_with_missing_shirt_sizes if
staff_with_missing_shirt_sizes.size 0
end
def send_empty_shirt_size_notification(staff_records)
Mailer.missing_shirt_size(staff_records).deliver
end
end
What is happening is, when I hit the 3rd test I did a check to see if the
record was present (StaffInfo.count) and it was. But after running
StaffInfo.check_empty_shirt_fields, I did a check for the record and it
was gone. I am not understanding how my record could have disappeared when
I all my method was doing was checking for any records with a missing field.
Anyone have any ideas?
Vell,
One way to be able to find out what is happening is:
a) tag your scenario with @pause, that will pause after each step.
b) Open a terminal and have a look at the test log file: tail -f
log/test.log
That way you can see what is happening in the test database at each step,
and when records are created, and/or the database is cleared.
P.S. It would also be a better idea to post your question in the cucumber
email list if you still have problems

Re: [Rails] Re: Cucumber test question
I'm not sure I understand. This is all one scenario so why would database
cleaner delete my record in the middle of my scenario? or am I missing
something?
I create my record at the start of the scenario then run the method that
should check for this record but the record but it not there after that
method checks for the record. This should be in the same transaction right?
Even if I place debugger anywhere in the step definitions I should still
have one record right?

The default behavior of cucumber is to run each scenario in a transaction
and then do a rollback when the scenario completes. The behavior is
specified by the DatabaseCleaner.strategy in the env.rb file/
