how to handle undefined methods during minitest controller testing - ruby-on-rails

I have following methods in my contest model.
class Contest < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :submissions
has_many :users, through: :submissions
validates_presence_of :name, :admin_id
acts_as_votable
def admin_name
User.find_by_id(self.admin_id).username
end
def tonnage
self.submissions.sum(:tonnage)
end
def contest_type_tr
I18n.t("contests.contest_type")[self.contest_type]
end
def contest_short_descr
I18n.t("contests.contest_short_descr")[self.contest_type]
end
end
When doing a test for the contest controller I get the following error:
ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `username' for nil:NilClass
Why is this and how can I fix it?
My specs (minitest) are available below.
require "test_helper"
describe ContestsController do
let(:user) { users :default }
let(:contest) { contests :one }
it "gets index" do
get :index
value(response).must_be :success?
value(assigns(:contests)).wont_be :nil?
end
it "gets new" do
get :new
value(response).must_be :success?
end
it "creates contest" do
expect {
post :create, contest: { }
}.must_change "Contest.count"
must_redirect_to contest_path(assigns(:contest))
end
it "shows contest" do
get :show, id: contest
value(response).must_be :success?
end
it "gets edit" do
get :edit, id: contest
value(response).must_be :success?
end
it "updates contest" do
put :update, id: contest, contest: { }
must_redirect_to contest_path(assigns(:contest))
end
it "destroys contest" do
expect {
delete :destroy, id: contest
}.must_change "Contest.count", -1
must_redirect_to contests_path
end
end

Error RSpec ActionController::UrlGenerationError with Rails

I'm getting an error when trying to test a Rails Controller with RSpec. It's a double nested route and I'm trying to figure out the right syntax but hadn't had many luck yet.
The error that I'm getting is
Failure/Error: get :index, {category_id: category.to_param, id: system.to_param}
ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
No route matches {:action=>"index", :category_id=>"220", :controller=>"reviews", :id=>"166"}
# ./spec/controllers/reviews_controller_spec.rb:11:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
I've made the same test for the system controller which works fine. The webpage works fine as well. No errors with that (just this error with testing).
Here is what the RSpec test look like:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe ReviewsController, type: :controller do
let (:category) { create(:category) }
let (:system) { create(:system) }
let (:reviews) { create_list(:review, 3, category: category, system: system) }
describe "GET index" do
it "assigs all reviews to an instance var called #reviews" do
get :index, {category_id: category.to_param, id: system.to_param}
expect(assigns(:reviews)).to eq reviews
end
it "assigns all the reviews to an var called #system" do
get :index, system_id: system.to_param
expect(assigns(:system)).to eq system
end
end
describe "system scope" do
before { create(:review) }
it "only assigns reviews index in the current system" do
get :index, {category_id: category.to_param, id: system.to_param}
expect(assigns(:reviews)).to eq reviews
end
end
end
This is the Controller that it's testing:
class ReviewsController < ApplicationController
def index
#system = System.find(params[:system_id])
#reviews = #system.reviews
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.json { render json: { system: #system, reviews: #reviews } }
end
end
def show
#system = System.find(params[:system_id])
#review = #system.reviews
end
end
And these are the routes:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root "categories#index"
resources :categories do
resources :systems do
resources :reviews
end
end
end
Here are the models:
Category Model
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :name
has_many :systems
end
System Model
class System < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :category
has_many :reviews
validates_presence_of :name, :category
end
Review Model
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :system
validates_presence_of :content, :system
end
ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches
{:action=>"index", :category_id=>"220", :controller=>"reviews",
:id=>"166"}
According to your routes, that particular index route expects category_id and system_id as keys. You need to change :id to :system_id. The below should work.
it "only assigns reviews index in the current system" do
get :index, {category_id: category.to_param, system_id: system.to_param}
expect(assigns(:reviews)).to eq reviews
end
Update
NoMethodError: undefined method `category=' for
Review:0x005578a9e87188
There is no association between a review and a category. Edit your models to set the association accordingly.
#category.rb
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_presence_of :name
has_many :systems
has_many :reviews
end
#review.rb
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :system
belongs_to :category
validates_presence_of :content, :system
end

rails+rspec controller spec with polymorphic association

I'm trying to test the actions in controller spec but for some reason I get the no routes matches error. What should I do to make the route work?
ActionController::UrlGenerationError:
No route matches {:action=>"create", :comment=>{:body=>"Consectetur quo accusamus ea.",
:commentable=>"4"}, :controller=>"comments", :post_id=>"4"}
model
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true, touch: true
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :comments, as: :commentable, dependent: :destroy
routes
resources :posts do
resources :comments, only: [:create, :update, :destroy], module: :posts
end
controller_spec
describe "POST create" do
let!(:user) { create(:user) }
let!(:profile) { create(:profile, user: #user) }
let!(:commentable) { create(:post, user: #user) }
context "with valid attributes" do
subject(:create_action) { xhr :post, :create, post_id: commentable, comment: attributes_for(:comment, commentable: commentable, user: #user) }
it "saves the new task in the db" do
expect{ create_action }.to change{ Comment.count }.by(1)
end
...
EDIT
The controller_spec from above can be found in spec/controllers/comments_controller_spec.rb
controllers/comments_controller.rb
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
def create
#comment = #commentable.comments.new(comment_params)
authorize #comment
#comment.user = current_user
if #comment.save
#comment.send_comment_creation_notification(#commentable)
respond_to :js
end
end
controllers/posts/comments_controller.rb
class Posts::CommentsController < CommentsController
before_action :set_commentable
private
def set_commentable
#commentable = Post.find(params[:post_id])
end
Using the module: :posts will route to Posts::CommentsController#create.
If that is not what you intended than remove the module option.
Otherwise you need to ensure that you have the correct class name for both your controller and spec.
class Posts::CommentsController
def create
end
end
RSpec.describe Posts::CommentsController do
# ...
end
Also note that if often does not make sense to nest the "individual actions" for a resource.
Instead you may want to declare the routes like so:
resources :comments, only: [:update, :destroy] # show, edit ...
resources :posts do
resources :comments, only: [:create], module: :posts # new, index
end
Which gives you:
class CommentsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_posts
# DELETE /comments/:id
def destroy
# ...
end
# PUT|PATCH /comments/:id
def update
end
end
class Posts::CommentsController < ApplicationController
# POST /posts/:post_id/comments
def create
# ...
end
end
See Avoid Deeply Nested Routes in Rails for a deeper explaination of why.
Setting the up the controller to use inheritance in this case is a good idea - however you cannot test the create method through the parent CommentsController class in a controller spec since RSpec will always look at described_class when trying to resolve the route.
Instead you may want to use shared examples:
# /spec/support/shared_examples/comments.rb
RSpec.shared_examples "nested comments controller" do |parameter|
describe "POST create" do
let!(:user) { create(:user) }
context "with valid attributes" do
subject(:create_action) { xhr :post, :create, post_id: commentable, comment: attributes_for(:comment, commentable: commentable, user: #user) }
it "saves the new task in the db" do
expect{ create_action }.to change{ Comment.count }.by(1)
end
end
end
end
require 'rails_helper'
require 'shared_examples/comments'
RSpec.describe Posts::CommentsController
# ...
include_examples "nested comments controller" do
let(:commentable) { create(:post, ...) }
end
end
require 'rails_helper'
require 'shared_examples/comments'
RSpec.describe Products::CommentsController
# ...
include_examples "nested comments controller" do
let(:commentable) { create(:product, ...) }
end
end
The other alternative which I prefer is to use request specs instead:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe "Comments", type: :request do
RSpec.shared_example "has nested comments" do
let(:path) { polymorphic_path(commentable) + "/comments" }
let(:params) { attributes_for(:comment) }
describe "POST create" do
expect do
xhr :post, path, params
end.to change(commentable.comments, :count).by(1)
end
end
context "Posts" do
include_examples "has nested comments" do
let(:commentable) { create(:post) }
end
end
context "Products" do
include_examples "has nested comments" do
let(:commentable) { create(:product) }
end
end
end
Since you are really sending a HTTP request instead of faking it they cover more of the application stack. This does however come with a small price in terms of test speed. Both shared_context and shared_examples are two of the things which make RSpec really awesome.

RSpec testing with followerships / friendships has many through users

I inspired myself with the following link, http://railscasts.com/episodes/163-self-referential-association, but the rspec testing is not coming easy.
user model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# Associations
has_many :followerships
has_many :followers, :through => :followerships
has_many :inverse_followerships, :class_name => "Followership", :foreign_key => "follower_id"
has_many :inverse_followers, :through => :inverse_followerships, :source => :user
end
followership model:
class Followership < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :follower, :class_name => "User"
end
followerhip factory:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :followership do
user_id 1
follower_id 1
end
end
followerships controller:
class FollowershipsController < InheritedResources::Base
def create
#followership = current_user.followerships.build(:follower_id => params[:follower_id])
if #followership.save
flash[:notice] = "Following."
redirect_to root_url
else
flash[:error] = "Unable to follow."
redirect_to root_url
end
end
def destroy
#followership = current_user.followerships.find(params[:id])
#followership.destroy
flash[:notice] = "Removed followership."
redirect_to current_user
end
end
folowerships controller spec (this is all wrong):
require 'rails_helper'
describe FollowershipsController do
let!(:followership) { create(:followership) }
let!(:follower) { followership.follower }
let!(:user) { create(:user) }
before do
sign_in :user, user
end
describe "#create" do
it "saves the followership" do
post :create, followership: { follower_id: follower }
expect(response).to redirect_to(root_path)
expect(assigns(:followership).followership.followers).to eq(user)
expect(flash[:notice]).to eq("Following.")
end
it "fails to save followership" do
expect(post :create, followership: { follower_id: follower }).to redirect_to(root_path)
expect(flash[:notice]).to eq("Unable to follow.")
end
end
describe "#destroy" do
it "deletes the followership" do
expect {
delete :destroy, id: follower
}.to change(Followership, :count).by(-1)
expect(flash[:notice]).to eq("Removed followership.")
end
end
end
Error from followerships controller Rspec

3) FollowershipsController#create fails to save followership

expected: "Unable to follow."

(compared using ==)
Thanks for the help :)
The let command uses lazy evaluation, so these records are not actually created until called. Use the let! syntax to ensure they're created before your tests run:
let!(:followership) { create(:followership) }
let!(:follower) { followership.follower }
let!(:user) { create(:user) }
Make sure your validations also only allow creation of a following if it doesn't already exist for that pair of users:
class Followership < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_uniqueness_of :user_id, scope: :follower_id
Also, it's not guaranteed that the follower/followership relationships will belong to user since user doesn't necessarily have an id of 1.
Finally, assigns is a method, so the syntax should be assigns(:followership) not assigns[:followership]

How to create test for correct_user in minitest?

My "gets edit" and "destroys tests" keep failing and I do not understand why. I think it has to do with the correct_user method in my controller.
For the destroy method it says that the contest.count did not change by -1. The edit method test just dumps everything there is to dump. (no real error message)
Does anybody have an idea how I can fix this?
require "test_helper"
describe ContestsController do
let(:user) { users :default }
let(:contest) { contests :one }
it "gets index" do
get :index
value(response).must_be :success?
value(assigns(:contests)).wont_be :nil?
end
describe "gets new" do
it "redirects to login_path" do
session[:user_id] = nil
get :new
assert_redirected_to new_user_session_path
end
it "requires authentication" do
sign_in users :default
get :new
value(response).must_be :success?
end
end
it "creates contest" do
sign_in users :default
expect {
post :create, contest: { name: "test", admin_id: 1 }
}.must_change "Contest.count"
must_redirect_to contest_path(assigns(:contest))
end
it "shows contest" do
get :show, id: contest
value(response).must_be :success?
end
it "gets edit" do
sign_in users :default
get :edit, id: contest
value(response).must_be :success?
end
it "updates contest" do
sign_in users :default
put :update, id: contest, contest: { name: "bier" }
must_redirect_to contests_path
end
it "destroys contest" do
sign_in users :default
expect {
delete :destroy, id: contest
}.must_change "Contest.count", -1
must_redirect_to contests_path
end
end
Controller below:
class ContestsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_contest, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
# the current user can only edit, update or destroy if the id of the pin matches the id the user is linked with.
before_action :correct_user, only: [:edit, :update, :destroy]
# the user has to authenticate for every action except index and show.
before_action :authenticate_user!, except: [:index, :show]
respond_to :html
def index
#title = t('contests.index.title')
set_meta_tags keywords: %w[leaderboard contest win],
description: "View all the #{Settings.appname} leaderboards now!"
#contests = Contest.all
respond_with(#contests)
end
def show
#title = t('contests.show.title')
#set_meta_tags keywords: %w[],
#description: ""
respond_with(#contest)
end
def new
#title = t('contests.new.title')
#set_meta_tags keywords: %w[],
#description: ""
#contest = current_user.contests.new
respond_with(#contest)
end
def edit
#title = t('contests.edit.title')
#set_meta_tags keywords: %w[],
#description: ""
end
def create
#title = t('contests.create.title')
#set_meta_tags keywords: %w[],
#description: ""
#contest = current_user.contests.new(contest_params)
#contest.admin_id = current_user.id
#contest.save
respond_with(#contest)
end
def update
#title = t('contests.update.title')
#set_meta_tags keywords: %w[],
#description: ""
#contest.update(contest_params)
respond_with(#contest)
end
def destroy
#title = t('contests.destroy.title')
#set_meta_tags keywords: %w[],
#description: ""
#contest.destroy
respond_with(#contest)
end
private
def set_contest
#contest = Contest.find(params[:id])
end
def contest_params
params.require(:contest).permit(:name, :description)
end
def correct_user
#contest = current_user.contests.find_by(id: params[:id])
redirect_to contests_path, notice: t('controller.correct_user') if #contest.nil?
end
end
model contest
has_many :submissions
has_many :users, through: :submissions
belongs_to :admin, class_name: 'User', foreign_key: 'admin_id'
model user
has_many :submissions
has_many :contests, through: :submissions
has_one :contest
It seemed that I do not had my fixture relations set up properly. I have a has many through submissions relations and my fixtures did not have it. Now it is working.

CanCan in RSpec Controller spec

I spent most of the day trying to root out a problem with a controller spec, and the current workaround seems unacceptable to me. Any take on why this works? ... and what I should do instead.
Given a simple hierarchy as follows, and the following ability.rb, the properties_controller_spec.rb does not allow the spec below to pass without the line saying:
ability = Ability.new(subject.current_user)
Can you tell me why this would be?
Thanks!
Models:
class Account < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :properties, :dependent => :nullify
end
class Property < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :account
end
class User < Refinery::Core::BaseModel #for RefineryCMS integration
belongs_to :account
end
Ability.rb:
class Ability
include CanCan::Ability
def initialize(user)
user ||= User.new
if user.has_role? :user
can [:read, :create, :update, :destroy], Property, account_id: user.account_id
else
can [:show], Property
end
end
end
properties_contoller_spec.rb:
require 'spec_helper'
describe PropertiesController do
def valid_attributes
describe "Authenticated as Property user" do
describe "PUT update" do
describe "with invalid params" do
it "re-renders the 'edit' template" do
property = FactoryGirl.create(:property, account: property_user.account)
# Trigger the behavior that occurs when invalid params are submitted
Property.any_instance.stub(:save).and_return(false)
ability = Ability.new(subject.current_user) # seriously?
put :update, {:id => property.to_param, :property => { }}, {}
response.should render_template("edit")
end
end
end
end
end
Arg! Found it myself.
Here it is:
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, :type => :controller
Following is the code to sign in the property_user, as directed by the Devise docs. (The locals in question are created in a global_variables.rb that is included. These are used all over the place.)
def signed_in_as_a_property_user
property_user.add_role "User"
sign_in property_user
end
def sign_in_as_a_property_user
property_user.add_role 'User'
post_via_redirect user_session_path,
'user[email]' => property_user.email,
'user[password]' => property_user.password
end
