Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl Chapter 7.25 - ruby-on-rails

Hi i'm a newbie working through Hartl. After a recent disaster I've been able to restore my app to a near working state (thanks Github!). I am now down to one error in my tests. So when I run the test I get:
sis-macbook-pro:sample_app Lagaspi$ bundle exec rspec spec/

it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
end
end
end
Thanks in advance.

Please check your 'Sign out' link , probably something goes wrong there.

ruby on rails tutorial errors chapter 9

I have been working on the ruby on rails tutorial. I am totally new to this stuff. I am in chapter 9 and totally stuck. I am hoping someone might help me decipher the error messages. Up until now I have just searched them and figured it out but I think it would be more valuable to just learn how to decipher the error message to fix the problem. If it is too long or cumbersome to explain than than I totally understand if no one wants to take it on. I was unable to find something online that helped me with this on my own.
Here are the errors that I am currently getting

I am particularly curious what "in 'block(7 levels)in" means. Are the levels something on that page or is it referring to something else? What is 'The block' in reference to?
I also cannot seem to understand the capybara error that I am getting. It appeared in chapter 8, went away and now has come back. The button is there on the page when I bring it up so capybara is just not finding it I guess. Can anyone explain how that works?
What does the 'nested" refer to?
Anyone know a good website that breaks this down? I would be more than happy to do the work myself but I could not find one. I would really love to be able to decipher this myself instead of just googling it and hoping the answer is somewhere or having to rely on someone else to explain it all the time.
Thanks so much for your time and any help.
Now is the time on Stack Overflow when I oversimplify. (Google 'ruby block' to read a lot more on this.) A block in Ruby is a bunch of code that gets passed to a method like an argument. For example,
[1,2,3].each{|n| puts n * n }
each is the method (called on the array [1,2,3]), and everything in the brackets is the block. The way the method each works is, it takes every element in the enumerable it`s called on ([1,2,3]) and yields one element at a time to the code block:
|the first element is 1| puts 1 * 1
|next is 2| puts 2 * 2
|etc| puts 3 * 3
A block can also be written between do...end. The Ruby way is to use brackets if you can fit the block on one line, and do...end otherwise - which is just how you have it in your specs. Everywhere you have a do and a matching end in your specs is a block, nested one inside another. The methods are harder to notice, because RSpec makes it look like natural language, but every time you write describe or it at the start of a line is a method call. (So are let and before and subject and expect, for that matter, which get called with single line blocks in your specs.)
So the message 'block(7 levels)' means your error is nested in that many blocks:
describe "AuthenticationPages" do #starts the first block
...
describe "signup" do #starts the second
and so on.
Now, your error messages. The first and second are basically telling you the same thing - you visit edit_user_path(user) and you don't see a "Sign In" button or "Sign In" in the page title. Check the log/test.log file - what happens when you visit that page? Is it a redirect to the signin page? It ought to be, but it looks like it isn't.
The other two error messages say exactly the same thing - the spec doesn't know what sign_in means. You need to have a method by that name defined somewhere RSpec can find it - either in the spec itself, or the spec_helper file that you require at the top of the spec, or in some file which is itself required inside spec_helper.
Finally, I think Hartl is right - you Google as best you can with error messages and stack traces, ask when you can't find what you're looking for, and you'll get better figuring things out yourself with time.
Re: sign_in -- The sign_in function was added to spec/support/utilities.rb in section 9.1.1, Listing 9.6 (in Rails 4 version of book).
I got the same error because my function in utilities.rb was "signin" without the underscore. Once I added the underscore (and changed the other reference to the same function to match), the test went green.

Rails Tutorial: RSpec test decoupling

I'm trying to do Exercise 2 of Chapter 8.5 in Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial. The exercise is as follows:
Following the example in Section 8.3.3, go through the user and authentication request specs (i.e., the files currently in the spec/requests directory) and define utility functions in spec/support/utilities.rb to decouple the tests from the implementation. Extra credit: Organize the support code into separate files and modules, and get everything to work by including the modules properly in the spec helper file.
Example 8.3.3: utilities.rb
include ApplicationHelper
def valid_signin(user)
fill_in "Email", with: user.email
fill_in "Password", with: user.password
click_button "Sign in"
end
RSpec::Matchers.define :have_error_message do |message|
match do |page|
page.should have_selector('div.alert.alert-error', text: message)
end
end
The defined valid_signin(user) function is used in the following block of authentication_pages_spec.rb and works fine.
describe "with valid information" do
let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)}
before { valid_signin(user) }
it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
it { should have_link('Profile', href: user_path(user)) }
it { should have_link('Sign out', href: signout_path) }
it { should_not have_link('Sign in', href: signin_path) }
describe "followed by signout" do
before { click_link "Sign out" }
it { should have_link('Sign in') }
end
end
So with this example I set about to create my own named valid_signup(user):
def valid_signup(user)
fill_in "Name", with: user.name
fill_in "Email", with: user.email
fill_in "Password", with: user.password
fill_in "Confirmation", with: user.password_confirmation
end
I'm using this block in user_pages_spec.rb like this:
describe "with valid information" do
let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)}
before { valid_signup(user) }
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
describe "after saving the user" do
before { click_button submit }
let(:user) { User.find_by_email(user.email) }
it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-success', text: 'Welcome') }
it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
end
It doesn't work. Spork/Guard reports these errors:
Failures:
1) UserPages signup with valid information should create a user
Failure/Error: expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
count should have been changed by 1, but was changed by 0

# ./spec/support/utilities.rb:10:in `valid_signup'
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:43:in `block (4 levels) in '
The errors seem to suggest the user.name in my valid_signup(user) function in utilities.rb isn't defined, but I don't see any reason why. I've restarted Guard several times, and did a rake db:test:prepare to make sure the testing db (using postgresql) was in order.
Here's my factories.rb for completeness:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :user do
name "Example User"
email "user#example.com"
password "foobar"
password_confirmation "foobar"
end
end
Before I continue to try and decouple more of the testing suite I'd very much like to solve this error and, more importantly, understand the reason for it.
EDIT
I've tried your tips, and edited the function in user_pages_spec.rb as follows:
describe "with valid information" do
before { valid_signup(user) }
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
describe "after saving the user" do
before { click_button submit }
let(:user) { User.find_by_email('user#example.com') }
it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-success', text: 'Welcome') }
it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
end
Since I removed let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)} from the function I guessed there was no longer a user created in the function so I needed to define valid_signup(user) as such as the user variable for valid_signup was no longer being filled by FactoryGirl:
def valid_signup(user)
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"
fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar"
end
This didn't work and gave me the following errors:
Failures:
1) UserPages signup with valid information should create a user
Failure/Error: before { valid_signup(user) }
NameError:
undefined local variable or method user' for #<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_5::Nested_3::Nested_2:0x007fdafc5088c0>

2) UserPages signup with valid information after saving the user

NoMethodError:
undefined method name' for nil:NilClass
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:52:inblock (5 levels) in '
I also tried running the test with valid_signup(user) the way I used to have it before (with user.name, user.email, user.password, user.password_confirmation, which didn't work either, with errors:
Failures:
1) UserPages signup with valid information should create a user
Failure/Error: before { valid_signup(user) }
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `user' for #
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:42:in `block (4 levels) in '
2) UserPages signup with valid information after saving the user
Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
NoMethodError:
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:52:in `block (5 levels) in '
Next I tried running it without passing variables in user_pages_spec.rb: before { valid_signup() } and without a variable in the function in utilities.rb:
def valid_signup()
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"
fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar"
end
This returned:
Failures:
1) UserPages signup with valid information should create a user
Failure/Error: before { valid_signup(user) }
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `user' for #
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:42:in `block (4 levels) in '
2) UserPages signup with valid information after saving the user
Failure/Error: it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
NoMethodError:
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
# ./spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb:52:in `block (5 levels) in '
Still no closer to the answer. I might be overlooking something simple. No clue what though. I got what I first did wrong though: I just thought FactoryGirl was a way to create variables, and I didn't know it actually did something to my test database.
I will try to explain what is going on in your original test (which I find easier to fix than the edited version):
describe "with valid information" do
let(:user) {FactoryGirl.build(:user)} # FactoryGirl.create will save the instance, you should be using build instead
before { valid_signup(user) }
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
describe "after saving the user" do
before { click_button submit }
# let(:user) { User.find_by_email(user.email) } # this is not needed any more
it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-success', text: 'Welcome') }
it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
end
More info on FactoryGirl usage: https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md#using-factories
FactoryGirl saves the user to the database, then you visit the sign_in_path with the user already on the database and fill the form for sign_in with valid_sigin(user)
let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)}
before { valid_signin(user) }
When you do:
let(:user){FactoryGirl.create(:user)}
before { valid_signup(user) }
factory girl saves the user in the database, and you fill a form with an email already taken.
EDIT:
describe "with valid information" do
before { valid_signup(user) }
You dont have a variable user defined, since you deleted let(:user){FactoryGilr.create(:user)},and you should visit the right path, your current path is "sign_in_path" and should be "sign_up_path"
You should do something like this:
utilities.rb
def valid_sign_up(user)
fill_in "Name", with: user.name
fill_in "Email", with: user.email
fill_in "Password", with: user.password
fill_in "Confirmation", with: user.password_confirmation
end
user_pages_spec.rb
describe "with valid information" do
let(:user){User.new(name: "my name", email: "myemail#example"...)
before do
visit sign_up
valid_sign_up(user)
end
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
end
I had the same problem and figured out the solution: when you define valid_signup, it should take 'page' as the argument. After all, you are testing the page elements, not the user.
spec/support/utilities.rb
def valid_signup(page)
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"
fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar"
end
spec/requests/user_pages_spec.rb
describe "with valid information" do
before { valid_signup(page) }
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
I hope this helps!
UPDATE I realize now that this works because of the scope of the variable 'page' (since it's the subject). To use "user" I added the line
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
above
before { sign_up(user) }. This then broke a later spec where I also tried using 'user' as a variable, so I changed the name to 'editeduser'. Here's the full example:
user_pages_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe "UserPages" do
subject { page }
...
describe "signup page" do
before { visit signup_path }
let(:submit) { "Create my account" }
it { should have_selector('h1', text: 'Sign up') }
it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Sign up')) }
describe "with invalid information" do
it "should not create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.not_to change(User, :count)
end
describe "after submission" do
before { click_button submit }
it { should have_selector('title', text: 'Sign up') }
it { should have_content('error') }
end
end
describe "with valid information" do
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
before { sign_up(user) }
it "should create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
end
describe "after saving the user" do
before { click_button submit }
let(:editeduser) { User.find_by_email('user#example.com') }
it { should have_selector('title', text: editeduser.name) }
it { should have_selector('div.alert.alert-success', text: 'Welcome') }
it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
end
end
Hopefully this helps someone!
I was curious about this one as well, and found an answer that may be more in line with what Hartl was expecting (though as just learning, I'm not 100% certain the top answer isn't more elegant or not).
Since we weren't using FactoryGirl to sign up users, but instead to sign them in, I didn't want to use it in my refactoring. This is what I have in my utilities.rb:
def valid_signup
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"
fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar"
end
and then in user_pages_spec.rb I replaced
describe "with valid information" do
before do
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"
fill_in "Confirmation", with: "foobar"
end
with
describe "with valid information" do
before { valid_signup }
We don't need a user to be saved to the database just to check a one time sign up, since they don't need to persist through multiple page views. Also, since we don't look up a user, we don't need a (user) argument after valid_signup method (I think I have the terminology correct. Please correct me if I do not.)

Ruby on Rails Tutorial - Getting Errors, pulling my hair out

Im following [Michael Hartl's tutorial][1] and did the exercises in Chapter 7, and now have 4 errors that I cant figure out how to fix for the life of me. When I test the production app manually, the errors dont exist at all. So I don't know if there is something wrong with my text development or something, but Im at a total loss so I thought I'd post here to see if my total noobness is blinding me...thanks for your help!
Here's the 4 error messages I'm getting:

<div class="row">
<aside class="span4">
<section>

Allright y'all,
I dont know if not answering my question was some sort of torturous initiation for noobs in this forum, but after almost 24 hours and a good night sleep, I solved the problem!
After a few G searches, I found that I could be stopping some of the variables from passing through by having "end" in the wrong places. It turns out there were 2 main areas where I was doing this. Once I found and fixed those, all the errors went away.
I will now pat myself on the back. I hope this helps any total noobs who run into this same problem in the future.

I am a newbie working through Hartl. Got to the end of Chapter 8 and when I check my browser for the sign in/sign out every things seems AOK. However when I run this test:

I have an idea but i'm not exactly sure. So here's my user_pages_spec.rb file:
require 'spec_helper'
describe "User pages" do
subject { page }
describe "signup page" do
before { visit signup_path }
it { should have_selector('h1', text: 'Sign up') }
it { should have_selector('title', text: full_title('Sign up')) }
end

let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
before { visit user_path(user) }
it { should have_selector('h1', text: user.name) }
it { should have_selector('title', text: user.name) }
end
describe "signup" do
before { visit signup_path }
let(:submit) { "Create my account" }
describe "with invalid information" do
it "should not create a user" do
expect { click_button submit }.not_to change(User, :count)
end
end

before do
fill_in "Name", with: "Example User"
fill_in "Email", with: "user#example.com"
fill_in "Password", with: "foobar"

end
it "should create a user" do

before { click_button submit }
it { should have_link('Sign out') }
end
end
end
end
Go to http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/sign-up?version=3.2#code-after_save_tests, and add those lines into you spec.
could you post your view file? Without it, it's difficult to tell what's wrong. From what I'm seeing, it only says you don't have the link.

You are missing a " at the end of it "should render the default (profile) do.
Right off the bat
it "should render the default (profile) do
Is missing the end quote and be should be
it "should render the default (profile)" do
I had in the podspec this character ” instead of this ".
