Testing Error Pages

p...@mobalean.com (Paul McMahon) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 07:34:57 UT

I want to test the custom error pages in my Rails 3.1 app with Steak.
To do that, I make the following changes.
config.consider_all_requests_l ocal = false
ActionDispatch::Request.class_ eval do
def local? # we need to consider the requests to be non-local to
test error pages
false
end
end

Why is so complicated to test with this gems!?

No, thats was my mistake. But even fixing that passing the real
password I still doesn't log_in. The weird thing is that I don't catch
any error when I look the page.body after click_button "Acceder".

Devise (or any other authentication library) shouldn't be an issue here. Problem should be somewhere else. For instance, are you sure "user.password" returns the password of the user?

That's only works for controllers, not acceptance test.

When you use devise with rspec and steak you should make some changes in
your configuration.
this is for rails3

Login_With

tute.uni...@gmail.com (Matias) — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:07:58 UT

Im using rails 2.3.12 with Devise.

I create a helper:

def login_with(user)
visit "/users/sign_in"
fill_in "user_login", :with => user.email
fill_in "user_password", :with => user.password
click_on "Acceder"
end

And an acceptance test with:

let :user do
Factory.create :user

Same problem here. Paths and helper methods under acceptance/support
are not accessible (undefined local variable or method). I am also
using Spork (latest from Github) and Ruby 1.9.2 under Rails 3.0.7.

Sure thing Tiago. When I run the acceptance tests I get this
backtrace:

hooks on steak

sadik...@sprout-technology.com (Sadiksha) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 07:38:33 UT

I want to use hooks on steak to remove access repetition of code. Is
there any method of adding steaks like cucumber?

Hey,

Steak is working great for me without Spork but whenever I run it
using Spork I get "undefined local variable" errors whenever my code
hits a helper method. Has anyone had any similar issues? My spork (if
that's relevant).

require 'rubygems'
require 'spork'
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'

Re: [steakrb] Way to access app/helpers methods within steak/rspec?

Yeah, thanks, that is actually what I ended up doing -- the reason I was
doing dynamically was that this figure is a moving target while the business
logic is under development, but I wanted to verify that the number that the
model generates gets out to the page. If I wanted to format the number
dynamically in the test then I would have to duplicate the code from the

The reason it's hard to do what you're trying is because, as a general rule, it is not a good practice to include and use parts of your implementation in your specs, since they'd get coupled to your implementation and you wouldn't be really testing those parts of your code (in this example, your helpers and your models).

Way to access app/helpers methods within steak/rspec?

d...@structuralartistry.com (David Kahn) — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:17:51 UT

I have a failing test because my number formatting in the spec is different
than on the view. The current spec line:
has_text?("$...@account.bill.g rand_total}").should == true
However in my view the formatting is handled by a helper, and for me to get
my test to pass I would need to do:
has_text?("$#{format_qb_amount (@account.bill.grand_total)}") .should == true
