Cucumber + Webrat doesn't submit forms? - ruby-on-rails

I'm new to Cucumber and totally lost as to why this integration test is failing. I have the following scenarios:
Scenario: User changes profile
Given I have an account
When I change my profile
Then my profile should be saved
Scenario: User changes login
Given I have an account
When I change my login information
Then my account should be changed
And these step definitions:
Given /^I have an account$/ do
#user = Factory.create(:user)
visit login_path
fill_in "Email", :with => #user.email
fill_in "Password", :with => 'secret'
click_button "Sign in"
end
When /^I change my profile$/ do
visit edit_user_profile_path(#user)
fill_in "First name", :with => "John"
fill_in "Last name", :with => "Doe"
click_button "Update Profile"
end
Then /^my profile should be saved$/ do
#user.profile.first_name.should == "John"
#user.profile.last_name.should == "Doe"
end
When /^I change my login information$/ do
visit edit_user_path(#user)
fill_in "Email", :with => "foo#example.com"
click_button "Update Login Information"
end
Then /^my account should be changed$/ do
#user.email.should == "foo#example.com"
end
And I fail the "Then" condition on both scenarios with this message:
# Scenario 1
expected: "John"
got: "Test1" (using ==) (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
# Scenario 1
expected: "foo#example.com"
got: "test2#example.com" (using ==) (RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError)
So, in both cases the factory information is still present after submitting the form to update the user login or profile. However, if I test this in a real browser it works perfectly. So, why is this test failing???
Thanks for the help!

#user is just a variable which lives inside your cucumber code block. It will not be changed. What will be changed in the test is the database record. To check that it was changed indeed you have to visit some page where user name is displayed.
(Just as you do in your real life test)

Why do I get the error in my acceptance test?

Tell me please,why does it happen?
I can't understand, if I write:
feature "Article Creation" do
#here i write (:all)
before(:all) do
sign_up_helper
end
I get the error:
Article Creation allows user to visit to creating article page
Failure/Error: fill_in :article_title, :with => 'test_title'
Capybara::ElementNotFound:
Unable to find field :article_title
or
1) Article Creation allows user to visit to article page
Failure/Error: expect(page).to have_content I18n.t('articles.articles_new')
expected to find text "New Article:" in "Toggle navigation Blog Rails New Contacts Sign in --- !ruby/hash:ActionController::Parameters controller: devise/sessions action: new {\"controller\"=>\"devise/sessions\", \"action\"=>\"new\"} nil You need to sign in or sign up before continuing. Sign in: Email Password Remember me Sign up Forgot your password?"
but, if I write:
feature "Article Creation" do
#here i write(:each)
before(:each) do
sign_up_helper
end
It's Ok. All tests works. My question -WHY?
This is my test:
*#before all test visitor signs up
#here I've changed :all and :each*
feature "Article Creation" do
before(:all) do
sign_up_helper
end
scenario "allows user to visit to article page" do
visit new_article_path
expect(page).to have_content I18n.t('articles.articles_new')
end
scenario "allows user to visit to created article page" do
visit new_article_path
fill_in :article_title, :with => 'test_title'
fill_in :article_text, :with => 'example_text'
click_button 'Save Article'
expect(page).to have_content 'example_text'
end
This is sign_up_helper method:
#spec/support/session_helper.rb
def sign_up_helper
visit new_user_registration_path
fill_in :user_email, :with => 'user#example.com'
fill_in :user_username, :with => 'mike'
fill_in :user_password, :with => 'secure123!##'
fill_in :user_password_confirmation, :with => 'secure123!##'
click_button 'Sign up'
end
This is html form:
<p>
<label for="article_title">Title</label><br/>
<input type="text" name="article[title]" id="article_title" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="article_text">Text</label><br/>
<textarea name="article[text]" id="article_text">
</textarea>
</p>
Environment for each test is set anew, I think. New session, cookies, etc. In many cases, even brand new users are generated. So one "global" login is not possible.
Even if it were possible, it would still be a problem, as it introduces spec order dependency which is bad. Imagine that one of your specs logs user out. Then each subsequent spec would fail, because user is not logged in anymore.
To prevent this, make sure that each spec sets its own environment as it needs it (user logins, method stubs, etc.), without relying on side-effects from previously executed specs (which may or may not persist).

Rails: Test pages that require login with has_secure_password

Ok, I'm using has_secure_password in my User model to automatically fill in the :password_digest field in my model.
I'd like to simulate a login in my test_account_page.rb integration test below, so that I can confirm that a logged in user can access the page at account_path.
test "a logged in user can access their account page" do
#user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
# Sign in first
visit signin_path
fill_in 'email', with: #user.email
fill_in 'password', with #user.password # <!-- this won't work
click_button 'Login'
# Then visit account page
...
end
This won't work because #user.password does not give us the password in plain text form (the whole idea of using has_secure_password in the first place is to make the original password unrecoverable).
So how do I test a page hidden behind the login screen when using has_secure_password?
Try to use user attributes like this:
test "a logged in user can access their account page" do
#user = FactoryGirl.create(:user)
#user_attrs = FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:user)
# Sign in first
visit signin_path
fill_in 'email', with: #user_attrs.email
fill_in 'password', with #user_attrs.password
click_button 'Login'
# Then visit account page
...
end

Rspec/Capybara test cases are not working for multiple 'it' blocks

I am writing some integration test cases for an existing application. My test works fine if there is only one 'it' block. However, If I add more than one 'it' block it throws an error. Below is my code that works:
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'Group' do
before do
visit 'http://groups.caremonkey.com/users/sign_in'
fill_in "Email", :with => "email#example.com"
fill_in "Password", :with => "password"
click_button "Login"
page.should have_link('Account')
end
it 'Should check all the links and functionality of groups' do
#add new subgroup with valid data should save a new group
find("#group-squares").click_link("Add")
fill_in "Group Name", :with => "Melbourne futsal"
click_on("Save")
page.should_not have_content("can't be blank")
page.execute_script("parent.$.fancybox.close();")
page.should have_link('Account')
#test edit group: should be able to update group info provided valid data are given
first(".actual img").click
page.should have_content("Group")
page.should have_link("Cancel")
fill_in "Group name", :with => "Futsal club"
page.execute_script("$('#sub-group-color-options').find('.color23').click()")
click_button "Save"
click_on("Cancel")
page.should have_link('Account')
end
end
It works perfectly fine when I put all the 'it' block together in a single 'it' block. But when I split them in different 'it' block, it stops working. For example if I split this ("test edit group: should be able to update group info provided valid data are given") test case into separate 'it' block as follows
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'Group' do
before do
visit 'http://groups.caremonkey.com/users/sign_in'
fill_in "Email", :with => "email#example.com"
fill_in "Password", :with => "password"
click_button "Login"
page.should have_link('Account')
end
it 'add new subgroup with valid data should save a new group' do
find("#group-squares").click_link("Add")
fill_in "Group Name", :with => "Melbourne futsal"
click_on("Save")
page.should_not have_content("can't be blank")
page.execute_script("parent.$.fancybox.close();")
page.should have_link('Account')
end
it 'should be able to update group info provided valid data are given' do
first(".actual img").click
page.should have_content("Group")
page.should have_link("Cancel")
fill_in "Group name", :with => "Futsal club"
page.execute_script("$('#sub-group-color-options').find('.color23').click()")
click_button "Save"
click_on("Cancel")
page.should have_link('Account')
end
end
then rspec fails, it passes the first test, however second test gets failed throwing following error.
Failure/Error: visit 'http://groups.caremonkey.com/users/sign_in'
ActionController::RoutingError:
No route matches [GET] "/users/sign_in"
One more thing, I have to test all the features in remote(url: http://groups.caremonkey.com/). Because, I am writing integration tests for an existing application. In addition, I need to login to the system before I test rest of the features of my application. Thanks in advance for your help.
Have you followed the Capybara documentation for calling remote servers? It says you should have the following:
Capybara.current_driver = :selenium # Or anything but rack_test, probably
Capybara.run_server = false # Don't run your app in-process
Capybara.app_host = 'http://groups.caremonkey.com/'
My guess is that when you have visited the site once, future visit calls are trying to use relative routes, which then is routed to the default server. I can't think why you would get a ActionController::RoutingError if you don't have some kind of Rack server running. Are you running these tests in some other Rails application?
I guess something like this:
require 'spec_helper'
describe 'Group' do
before do
visit 'http://groups.caremonkey.com/users/sign_in'
fill_in "Email", :with => "email#example.com"
fill_in "Password", :with => "password"
click_button "Login"
page.should have_link('Account')
find("#group-squares").click_link("Add") #apperently both specs are "scoped" to this page
end
it 'Should check all the links and functionality of groups' do
fill_in "Group Name", :with => "Melbourne futsal"
click_on("Save")
page.should_not have_content("can't be blank")
page.execute_script("parent.$.fancybox.close();")
page.should have_link('Account')
end
it "test edit group: should be able to update group info provided valid data are given"
first(".actual img").click
page.should have_content("Group")
page.should have_link("Cancel")
fill_in "Group name", :with => "Futsal club"
page.execute_script("$('#sub-group-color-options').find('.color23').click()")
click_button "Save"
click_on("Cancel")
page.should have_link('Account')
end
end
My gut feeling tells me both test need the follow this: find("#group-squares").click_link("Add") so I added it to the before block This test however is cryptic, what is first(".actual img")?

How does RSpec reload work?

I don't understand why the first of the following test passes while the second does not. Obviously, it's because I'm using a block in the first one, but what does it actually do compared to the second scenario?
require 'spec_helper'
feature "Edit user account" do
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
before(:each) do
sign_in_as!(user)
visit '/settings'
end
scenario 'A user should be able to update their login info with current password' do
fill_in 'user_first_name', :with => 'Mario'
fill_in 'user_email', :with => 'mario#bross.com'
fill_in 'user_password', :with => 'goshrooms'
fill_in 'user_current_password', :with => 'ilovebananas'
click_button 'Update'
user.reload do |u|
u.first_name.should eq 'Mario'
u.email.should eq 'mario#bross.com'
u.password.should eq 'goshrooms'
end
current_path.should eq '/settings'
page.should have_content('You updated your account successfully.')
end
scenario "A user should be able to update their login info with current password" do
fill_in "user_password", :with => "magical"
fill_in "user_current_password", :with => 'ilovebananas'
click_button "Update"
current_path.should eq "/settings"
user.reload.password.should eq "magical"
end
end
When running the tests I get:
1) Edit user account A user should be able to update their login info with current password
Failure/Error: user.reload.password.should eq "magical"
expected: "magical"
got: "ilovebananas"
(compared using ==)
As mentioned in the comments above, password is not a field in the DB. So instead of testing on password, I tested on the encrypted_password field.
feature "* Edit user account:" do
let(:user) { FactoryGirl.create(:user) }
before(:each) do
visit "/login"
fill_in "user_email", :with => user.email
fill_in "user_password", :with => "ilovebananas"
click_button "Sign in"
visit '/settings'
#old_encrypted_password = user.encrypted_password
end
scenario 'A user should be able to update their info with current password' do
....
user.reload.encrypted_password.should_not eq #old_encrypted_password
end
end

error using rspec for devise

I am using rspec for testing devise authentication. Following is my code
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
describe "user registration" do
it "allows new users to register with an email address and password" do
get "/users/sign_up"
fill_in "Email", :with => "abc#example.com"
fill_in "Password", :with => "abc123"
fill_in "Password confirmation", :with => "abc123"
click_button "Sign up"
response.should have_content("Welcome! You have signed up successfully.")
end
end
end
I am getting the following error.
"NoMethodError:undefined method `get' for #"
You are using controller methods and integration test methods (Capybara) in a Model spec. It will not work.
A model spec (UNIT test) will contain things like:
Test your validators/relationships
Test scopes
Methods of your model
Check out this series of Blog articles on testing with RSpec, it should help:
http://everydayrails.com/2012/03/12/testing-series-intro.html
This seems to be an model spec (describe User) which does not allow to run requests, but you probably want to write a controller spec (describe UsersController) or even an integration test.
If you are using the default rspec layout, just move your code to the appropriate directory (spec/controllers or spec/integration). I would do an integration test:
# In spec/integration/user_registration_spec.rb
require 'spec_helper'
describe "User registration" do
it "allows new users to register with an email address and password" do
get "/users/sign_up"
fill_in "Email", :with => "abc#example.com"
fill_in "Password", :with => "abc123"
fill_in "Password confirmation", :with => "abc123"
click_button "Sign up"
response.body.should have_content("Welcome! You have signed up successfully.")
end
end
Is this file in the spec/models directory? I'm guessing that's the case since you're describeing a User. The way you wrote your test is a mix between a controller-style test and an integration (acceptance) test. This is probably what you want:
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
describe "user registration" do
it "allows new users to register with an email address and password" do
visit "/users/sign_up"
fill_in "Email", :with => "abc#example.com"
fill_in "Password", :with => "abc123"
fill_in "Password confirmation", :with => "abc123"
click_button "Sign up"
page.should have_content("Welcome! You have signed up successfully.")
end
end
end
Put this file in the spec/integration or spec/requests directory.
I would probably try something like this
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
describe "user registration" do
it "allows new users to register with an email address and password" do
visit new_user_registration_path
current_path.should be(new_user_registration_path)
fill_in "user[email]", :with => "abc#example.com"
fill_in "user[password]", :with => "abc123"
fill_in "user[password_confirmation]", :with => "abc123"
click_button "Sign up"
expect { click_button submit }.to change(User, :count).by(1)
response.should be_redirect
response.should have_content("Welcome! You have signed up successfully.")
end
end
end
But I can highly recommend to using FactoryGirl for generating new values. Also check, which Devise modules do you use. For example if you are using a Confirmable modul, is obvious that this approach is wrong. Some useful article.
