Association clears when reloading a record in test - ruby-on-rails

I am only familiar with Rspec, but now I need to fix a library which uses Test::Unit.
I find out that when I reload the record, the association becomes nil
For example:
test "accepts nested attributes from subscription to user ()" do
#user = User.create(name:'Ash')
#subscription = #user.create_subscription()
puts "user: " << #user.inspect
puts "subscription: " << #user.subscription.inspect
#subscription.update_attributes({ :user_attributes => { :notification_comment => true } })
#user.reload
puts "user: " << #user.inspect
puts "subscription: " << #user.subscription.inspect
assert #user.subscription, "should have an subscription"
end
Outputs:
user: #<User id: 815823837, account_id: nil, name: "Ash", email: nil, settings: {}, created_at: "2013-02-07 04:28:51", updated_at: "2013-02-07 04:28:51">
subscription: #<Subscription id: 1, user_id: 815823837, created_at: "2013-02-07 04:28:51", updated_at: "2013-02-07 04:28:51">
user: #<User id: 815823837, account_id: nil, name: "Ash", email: nil, settings: {}, created_at: "2013-02-07 04:28:51", updated_at: "2013-02-07 04:28:51">
subscription: nil
Why does this happen? I did check and I can confirm that I can Subscription.find(#subscription.id) so it is saved in the database.

ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch: User(#35560) expected, got ... which is an instance of User(#22700)

I've been getting intermittent errors while seeding with rails. I'm hoping someone can help provide some insight into the different types of the User class.
The error in full:
ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch: User(#35560) expected, got #<User id: "bedc7c4e-cdd2-4ea1-a7ee-4e6642467fba", email: "phil#email.domain", jti: "7376cf41-7f88-407d-8365-1e311d946b88", ios_device_token: nil, fcm_device_token: nil, first_name: "Phil", last_name: "6", phone_number: nil, date_of_birth: nil, super_user: true, created_at: "2023-02-08 08:16:37.559974000 +0000", updated_at: "2023-02-08 08:16:37.559974000 +0000"> which is an instance of User(#22700)
The code which causes it:
user = User.new(
first_name: 'Phil',
last_name: '6',
email: 'phil#email.domain',
super_user: true,
password: 'test1234'
)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save!
organisation = Organisation.find_by_name('Team')
Membership.create!(
user:,
organisation:,
verified: true,
verified_at: now,
organisation_admin: true,
shift_admin: true,
email: 'phil.6#group.com',
email_confirmed: true,
category: organisation.categories.find_by_name('Developer')
)
organisation = Organisation.find_by_name('Test Org')
membership = Membership.create!(
user:,
organisation:,
verified: true,
verified_at: now,
email: 'phil#testorg.com',
email_confirmed: true
)
If I pause execution before the error I can see that user == User.first is false despite User.first and user being these two lines, which are visually identical:
#<User id: "6ce62b08-cf4c-4bfa-878a-02a1ed889c69", email: "phil#email.domain", jti: "710948b6-5f4f-40ea-ab9f-df8e3b1219c3", ios_device_token: nil, fcm_device_token: nil, first_name: "Phil", last_name: "6", phone_number: nil, date_of_birth: nil, super_user: true, created_at: "2023-02-08 08:17:06.024800000 +0000", updated_at: "2023-02-08 08:17:06.024800000 +0000">
#<User id: "6ce62b08-cf4c-4bfa-878a-02a1ed889c69", email: "phil#email.domain", jti: "710948b6-5f4f-40ea-ab9f-df8e3b1219c3", ios_device_token: nil, fcm_device_token: nil, first_name: "Phil", last_name: "6", phone_number: nil, date_of_birth: nil, super_user: true, created_at: "2023-02-08 08:17:06.024800000 +0000", updated_at: "2023-02-08 08:17:06.024800000 +0000">
It's the same thing if I compare user.class and User.first.class, they look the same but a comparison evaluates to false.
Am I doing something to mutate the local variable?
What you should be doing here is to create an assocation:
class User < ApplicationRecord
has_many :memberships
end
Then you create the memberships through that assocation instead:
user = User.create!(
first_name: 'Phil',
last_name: '6',
email: 'phil#email.domain',
super_user: true,
password: 'test1234',
confirmed_at: Time.current # the easy way to skip Devise::Confirmable
)
# make sure you use the bang method so that you're not just getting a nil
organisation = Organisation.find_by_name!('Test Org')
user.memberships.create!(
organisation: organisation,
verified: true,
verified_at: now,
organisation_admin: true,
shift_admin: true,
email: 'phil.6#group.com',
email_confirmed: true,
category: organisation.categories.find_by_name!('Developer')
)

Failures:

Failure/Error: <%= #undertaking.id %>
ActionView::Template::Error:

and this below is undertaking_controller.rb.

and this below is undertaking/show.html.erb.
<%= #undertaking.id %>
Why do I have the error? Why #undertaking is nil in view although Undertaking.first is not nil in spec/features/comment_spec.rb?Please help me.
I think it has to do with the naming used for your controller . The convention is undertakings/show.html.erb for the view instead of undertaking/show.html.erb . I would also use
class UndertakingsController < ApplicationController
instead of
class UndertakingController < ApplicationController
Finally I would check that all my routes also have the correct naming. Hope that helps. Good luck

Any Help please? I have been stuck on this for a long time.
If i call
puts #user.inspect
I get

Its just when i call the assigns(:contacts) that the problem happens!
I think you forgot to invoke the controller action. :)
Try adding get :index
it "assigns #contacts" do
get :index
expect(assigns(:contacts)).to eq(#user.contacts)
end

How to destroy a built object?

How can I delete or destroy an object located in memory, but not in the database?
irb(main):034:0> mentor.registered_students.build(:user_id => 20)
=> #<RegisteredStudent id: nil, user_id: 20, assigned_mentor_id: 1, description: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
irb(main):035:0> mentor.registered_students.last
=> #<RegisteredStudent id: nil, user_id: 20, assigned_mentor_id: 1, description: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
irb(main):036:0> mentor.registered_students.last.destroy
(0.3ms) BEGIN
(0.2ms) COMMIT
=> #<RegisteredStudent id: nil, user_id: 20, assigned_mentor_id: 1, description: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
irb(main):037:0> mentor.registered_students.last.delete
=> #<RegisteredStudent id: nil, user_id: 20, assigned_mentor_id: 1, description: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
irb(main):038:0> mentor.registered_students.last
=> #<RegisteredStudent id: nil, user_id: 20, assigned_mentor_id: 1, description: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
I already used destroy or delete but they look for records in database.
CONTROLER ACTION:
def mix
unless params[:mentor_id].nil? || params[:students_id].nil?
#mentor = AssignedMentor.find params[:mentor_id]
#students = params[:students_id]
#students.each do |student|
if student[1] == "0"
registered_student = RegisteredStudent.where("assigned_mentor_id = ? AND user_id = ?", #mentor.id, student[0] ).first
registered_student.destroy
end
if student[1] == "1"
#mentor.registered_students.build(:user_id => student[0])
#mentor.save
if #mentor.errors.size > 0
#mentor.registered_students.reload
end
end
end
#redirect_to bind_admin_users_path
end
#flash[:alert] = t("labels.no_students")
redirect_to bind_admin_users_path
end
mentor.registered_students.reload
does the trick

Why is my after_save callback stopping my ActiveRecord association from saving properly?

When I comment out my after_save call back, my ActiveRecord associations work just fine. In Rails Console, you'd see:
> #report = Report.create :name => "foo"
=> #<Report id: 9, name: "foo", created_at: "2013-03-05 09:51:55", updated_at: "2013-03-05 09:51:55">
> #question = #report.questions.create :description => "bar"
=> #<Question id: 18, standard_id: nil, description: "bar", element_id: nil, condition_id: nil, blueprint_name: nil, blueprint_url: nil, created_at: "2013-03-05 09:52:32", updated_at: "2013-03-05 09:52:32", additive: false, instructions: nil>
> #report.questions
=> [#<Question id: 18, standard_id: nil, description: "bar", element_id: nil, condition_id: nil, blueprint_name: nil, blueprint_url: nil, created_at: "2013-03-05 09:52:32", updated_at: "2013-03-05 09:52:32", additive: false, instructions: nil>]
> #question.reports
=> [#<Report id: 9, name: "foo", created_at: "2013-03-05 09:51:55", updated_at: "2013-03-05 09:51:55">]
However, the associations stop working when I add the following after_save callback to question.rb:
def create_matching_surveys
self.reports.each do |report|
report.reviews.each do |review|
review.competitors.each do |competitor|
competitor.surveys.find_or_create_by_question_id(self.id)
end
end
end
end
Then, in Rails Console, you get:
> #report = Report.create :name => "foo"
=> #<Report id: 13, name: "foo", created_at: "2013-03-05 10:20:51", updated_at: "2013-03-05 10:20:51">
> #question = #report.questions.create :description => "bar"
=> #<Question id: 24, standard_id: nil, description: "bar", element_id: nil, condition_id: nil, blueprint_name: nil, blueprint_url: nil, created_at: "2013-03-05 10:21:02", updated_at: "2013-03-05 10:21:02", additive: false, instructions: nil>
> #report.questions
=> [#<Question id: 24, standard_id: nil, description: "bar", element_id: nil, condition_id: nil, blueprint_name: nil, blueprint_url: nil, created_at: "2013-03-05 10:21:02", updated_at: "2013-03-05 10:21:02", additive: false, instructions: nil>]
> #question.reports
=> []
This happens whether or not the report has reviews that have competitors.
The strange thing is I thought the callback was meant to happen after the question was saved? So by rights the association should save too before any of this happens, right?
How do I fix it?
UPDATE
I think I have to call the callback in the right spot in the object's life cycle, but I can't find that spot. Here's why I think this:
> #report = Report.create :name => "foo"
=> #<Report id: 20, name: "foo", created_at: "2013-03-05 12:29:35", updated_at: "2013-03-05 12:29:35">
> #question = #report.questions.create :description => "bar"
=> #<Question id: 31, standard_id: nil, description: "bar", element_id: nil, condition_id: nil, blueprint_name: nil, blueprint_url: nil, created_at: "2013-03-05 12:30:14", updated_at: "2013-03-05 12:30:14", additive: false, instructions: nil>
> #question.reports
=> []
> #question.update_attributes :description => "foo"
=> true
> #question.reports
=> [#<Report id: 20, name: "foo", created_at: "2013-03-05 12:29:35", updated_at: "2013-03-05 12:29:35">]
BTW, the method is now in question_observer.rb:
class QuestionObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
def after_save(model)
model.reload
model.reports.reload
model.reports.each do |report|
report.reviews.each do |review|
review.competitors.each do |competitor|
competitor.surveys.find_or_create_by_question_id(model.id)
end
end
end
return true
end
end
The answer was to use a neat new callback hook called after_commit which was introduced with Rails 3.
See http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Transactions/ClassMethods.html#method-i-after_commit.
The only issue is after_commit doesn't work "out of the box" with transactional fixtures, but there are plenty of solutions out there, and I found this one worked well for me: https://supportbee.com/devblog/2012/01/14/testing-after_commitafter_transaction-with-rspec/
