Am I on the right track

[roelof]

Hello,

I making my first BDD site which you can find here : https://github.com/roelof1967/tamara
Now the first test is failing with this message :

Given a user "Aslak" exists         # features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:1
    When he logs in                     # features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:4
      undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
      ./features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:5:in `/^he logs in$/'
      features/login.feature:5:in `When he logs in'


Is this because I use @user.name or do I don't see the right reason ?

The comment in snippets is there for a reason (pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had)

Instead of leaving the Given stepdef blank you should have written some code here. Since you didn't you got confused at a later stage - in the When step.

One thing I don't understand. Why create a new user ?
In my opinion a existing user is a user which is already in the database and in the user model so a existing user is already created.

You have never initialized the @user variable. Since it's nil, you can't
call any methods on it.

Thanks,

I now get this message:

Scenario: log in as existing user     # features/login.feature:3
    Given a user "Aslak" exists         # features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:5
      unknown attribute: name (ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError)
      ./features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:6:in `/^a user "(.*?)" exists$/'
      features/login.feature:4:in `Given a user "Aslak" exists'

Must I now write my spec files or must I change something in my step-defenitions to solve this problem.

I solved this one with chancing the class definition to this :

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name, :password
 
  def initialize
    @name = name
    @password = password
  end
 
end

But now I see this message:

Given a user "Aslak" exists         # features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:10
      wrong number of arguments (2 for 0) (ArgumentError)
      ./features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:4:in `initialize'

      features/login.feature:4:in `Given a user "Aslak" exists'

How your step def looks like?

You are trying to reach a record with 2 arguments where you dont need any.

It's look like this :

 

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

attr_accessible :name, :password

def initialize

@name = name

@password = password

end

end

Given /^a user "(.*?)" exists$/ do |user_name|

@user = User.create!(:name => user_name, :password => "s3cr3t")

end

When /^he logs in$/ do

visit("/users/sign_in")

fill_in('User name', :with => @user.name)

fill_in('Password', :with => @user.password)

click_button('Log in')

end

Then /^he should see "(.*?)"$/ do

pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had

end

When /^he logs in with a bad password$/ do

pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had

end

Then /^he should not see "(.*?)"$/ do |arg1|

pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had

end

Then the problem is with the model.

I believe you are using RoR.

The model is created with scaffolding, they have the basic for what you want.

The thing is, you have to have the controller for be able to access it.

def create

  User.new(:params)

end

something like that...

May I suggest you study Ruby on Rails before you continue any further? This is not how you create attributes on an activerecord class. It's done by adding columns to its table. You have to add a migration.

It seems like you're new to more than just Cucumber, and that makes it a little tricky to use a forum like this. We want to stay focussed on Cucumber here.

[roelof]

Your right.
Im new to Cucumber and Ruby. I tought I had learned Ruby from codeschool but appearently I don know enough

I was just asking about a new problem but maybe I can better ask on the Ruby Forum,

I now see these  messages :

When he logs in                             # features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:5

      undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

      ./features/step_definitions/login_steps.rb:6:in `/^he logs in$/'

      features/login.feature:5:in `When he logs in'

I changed the scenario because the devise gem is using a email adress instead of a name.
But appearently I missed something.
II wonder if this is too hard material to learn without a teacher and learn this from a book myself.

Ruby (the programming language) is not the same as Ruby on Rails (the web framework written in Ruby).

Rails is a pretty big framework and I'd definitely pick up a book teaching it. Some Rails books might try to teach you Ruby as well, but it might be useful to pick up a (non-Rails) Ruby book as well.

And of course - the Cucumber book!
