How to test ransack output? Rspec
ruby-on-rails,ruby,rspec,ransack
A test normally has three phases: setup, execute, assert. The setup phase would be to create some hotels, which have different properties for the aspect you are testing. The execute phase would be to click on the link which sorts the hotels. The assert phase would be to inspect the...
Route Not Working in Rspec
It looks like you have a controller test (as opposed to an integration test). If that's the case then the second one fails because controller tests bypass the routing and instead need to be told which action method to call with a post (or get or put or delete) instead...
Rspec, can you stub a method that doesn't exist on an object (or mock an object that can take any method)?
ruby-on-rails,ruby-on-rails-4,rspec,rspec-rails,stub
RSpec provides no special mechanisms to access elements under test, so yes, you would need to somehow stub the id method and have it return whatever you wish (e.g. 1). To do that, you must have a way to access the event object in your test so that you can...
Rspec and Rails NoMethodError for comparison operator

In the HTML, the element with class "tile" is actually a p element: <p class="tile">Text: Kids </p> As a result, you need to locate it using the paragraph_element method instead of the div_element method: div(:my_title) { div_element(:class => 'con-head').paragraph_element(:class => 'tile') } ...

RSpec fails upon a namespaced model assigned to blog
ruby-on-rails,ruby-on-rails-4,rspec
Your test says: blobs = Blog::Blob.create! This is confusing, because blobs is plural, but you're only creating one blob. So start by renaming that to blob. Then expect(assigns(:blog::blobs)).to eq([blog::blobs]) should be expect(assigns(:blobs)).to eq([blob]). In the index action, you set @blobs = Blog::Blob.all. The assigns correspond to the controller's instance variables....
Rspec can't stub where or find_by_, only find

Testing an RSpec mock that is called twice
ruby-on-rails,ruby,unit-testing,rspec
The best way, IMO, would be to wrap all your admin-authenticated tests in a context which expect the :admin call. describe MyController do context "when authenticated" do before do expect(controller).to receive(:require_permission).with :admin end it 'requires view_admins permission' do expect(controller).to receive(:require_permission).with :view_admins get :admins end end end If you don't want...
RSpec test for rake task
ruby-on-rails,ruby,rspec,rake-task
A couple things. First off, you should put created_at in the create method: user.items.create(description: "Old Item", created_at: 12.days.ago). Second, you need to call user.reload in order for the changes from your rake task to be available. So it should look like this: user.reload expect(user.items.count).to eq 1 etc...
stubbing 'gets' in ruby multiple times
Aha, I think I found the solution! The trick appears to be allow_any_instance_of(Kernel).to receive(:gets).and_return 'yes' and calling that in a before block before the application code is pulled in - like so: describe 'ask' do before do stub(:puts).with('anything') stub(:puts).with('Please answer "yes" or "no".') stub(:gets).and_return 'yes' allow_any_instance_of(Kernel).to receive(:gets).and_return 'yes' require './lib/ask.rb'...
How can I stub a controller instance variable using RSpec?
ruby-on-rails-3,rspec,controller
In fact the instance variable is set to the value that you provide in the example, but that happens before the before_filter executes, so it ends up being set again. You could move the initialization from the before_filter into a method in the controller and stub that instead: before_filter {...

Using Rspec should_receive to test that a controller calls a method on an object correctly
ruby-on-rails,ruby,ruby-on-rails-4,rspec,rspec-rails
A should_receive expectation has to be set before you call the method under test; you're setting it afterwards. Since you need to set it before, you then have to make sure the object you've set up the expectation on ends up being operated on in the action. The normal way...

You don't need to add a custom validation. Consider using the numericality validation provided by ActiveRecord: class Student < ActiveRecord::Base validates :name, presence: true validates :roll, uniqueness: true validates :roll, numericality: { greater_than: 1, less_than: 80 } end Also write your test in this way: let(:student1) { Student.create(name: "sanjay", lastname:...

How can I expect that a certain method is called with a specific block?
ruby-on-rails,ruby,rspec,mocking
I would rather try to assert the externally visible effects. Suppose you have a SomeGem.configuration method that you can use to retrieve the configured values, then you could write describe 'configuration block' do subject do lambda do SomeGem.configure do |config| config.username = "hello" config.password = "world" end end end it...
RSpec matcher that checks collection to include item that satisfies lambda
In RSpec 3, matchers are fully composable, which means you can pass any object which implements Ruby's === protocol (including a matcher!) to include and it will work properly. Lambdas in Ruby 1.9 implement the === protocol, which means you can do this: expect(changes).to include(lambda { |x| x.key == 'name'...
DRY code using Rspec matchers
You can store the arguments to be used more than once in an array, then splat (*) them into the argument list: css_args = ['selector', {text: 'text'}] expect(page).to(have_css(*css_args)) You can also pick your matcher with negate like so: expectation = negate ? :to_not : :to expect(page).send(expectation, have_css('selector', text: 'text')) ...

Faking instance variable in RSpec and Capybara feature spec
ruby-on-rails,ruby,rspec,capybara
There's no easy way to accomplish what you want. The feature spec is handled mostly by Capybara, not RSpec. Capybara runs the majority of the browser / rails server behavior in an external process. This make it inaccessible from RSpec's point-of-view. Thus you cannot use stubs / doubles in this...
How to stub Time.now.hour
ruby-on-rails,testing,time,rspec,stubbing
Another approach would be to use Timecop (or the new Rails replacement travel_to) to stub out your time for you.

What is the difference between User.make and User.new?
ruby-on-rails,unit-testing,rspec,capybara

How to stub a class method using rspec/rspec-mocks
For your workflow, I think it's going to work better to use a class_double than than to stub the Hashes class directly. allow(Hashes) is always going to require that the Hashes constant is defined. It's simply how Ruby works and RSpec can't do anything about that. With a class double,...
