Functional testing of Active Scaffold powered controllers?

[Andrey Novikov]

I'm now learning how to test rails applications and trying to write tests for one of my little apps. It's almost completely done with Active Scaffold.

I'm now trying to make autogenerated functional tests pass (that ones, that was generated by `rails g active_scaffold` command), but they're not passing.

Does anyone do functional testing of AS-powered controllers, and if so, how are you doing that?

What my `rake` complaints about:

  1) Failure:

test_should_create_address(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:21]:

"Address.count" didn't change by 1.

<3> expected but was

<2>.

  2) Failure:

test_should_destroy_address(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:44]:

"Address.count" didn't change by -1.

<1> expected but was

<2>.

  3) Failure:

test_should_get_edit(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:35]:

Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302>

  4) Failure:

test_should_get_index(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:10]:

Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302>

  5) Failure:

test_should_get_new(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:16]:

Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302>

  6) Failure:

test_should_show_address(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:30]:

Expected response to be a <:success>, but was <302>

  7) Failure:

test_should_update_address(AddressesControllerTest) [/home/envek/simple_catalog/test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb:40]:

Expected response to be a redirect to <http://test.host/addresses/368308524> but was a redirect to <http://test.host/users/sign_in>

Thanks for patience.

I've solved it.

First, I'm using Devise and, according to Devise docs, I should add to test/test_helper.rb something like:

class ActionController::TestCase

  include Devise::TestHelpers

  def sign_in_user

    @request.env["devise.mapping"] = Devise.mappings[:user]

    sign_in users(:first_user)

  end

end

And add add_user call in test/functional/addresses_controller_test.rb in setup macro:

setup |do|

  sign_in_user

  @user = users(:first_user)

end

Second, next things different between default rails scaffolds and Active Scaffold:

• You should pass record hash in post request instead of model_name
• create and update actions redirects to index
• Active Scaffold do not assign instance variables such as @model_names (as generated tests asserts for)

Moreover, if you have disabled some actions (e.g. show, test for them should be removed or asserting for raising ActionView::Template::Error)

After that changes, I've get these tests passed. Thanks and sorry for inconvenience.
