capture_fields question

[millisami]

Hi, I'm here again with a simplified question for the thread
http://groups.google.com/group/pickle-cucumber/browse_thread/thread/52c43d61b0177255

My experience with pickle is decent and I have FactoryGirl setup and
I've setup custom steps like:
Given I am logged in as vendor admin via custom Factory methods.

The real problem is with the pickle's capture_fields method.
User has many roles and this is not setup as association. Is setup as
bit mask. I've roles_mask column with integer type in the database and
the roles getter and setter method is set to deal with the conversion.

I know that capture_model does its job is through the reflection of
model. Since the User model has its attribute column named as
roles_mask, can this be a problem?

But looking at the errors, it seems like the roles= setter method is
the problem.
When I change the roles=(roles) method to the commented one below, it
passes.

First the User model
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
#if new role is needed, then insert at the last, NOT IN THE MIDDLE
ROLES = %w[super_admin vendor_admin client_admin
client_trade_officer]

def roles=(roles)
self.roles_mask = (roles & ROLES).map { |r|
2**ROLES.index(r) }.sum
end

# def roles=(roles)
# self.roles_mask = 2 #or any integer
# end

def roles
ROLES.reject { |r| ((roles_mask || 0) & 2**ROLES.index(r)).zero? }
end
end

Here is the feature:
@user-roles
Scenario: User with roles
Given a user exists
And another user exists with roles: "vendor_admin"

Here the error:
@user-roles
Scenario: User with roles # features/
campaigns.feature:31
Given a user exists # features/
step_definitions/pickle_steps.rb:4
And another user exists with roles: "vendor_admin" # features/
step_definitions/pickle_steps.rb:4
undefined method `&' for "vendor_admin":String (NoMethodError)
./app/models/user.rb:18:in `roles='

Any direction or tips coz this is stopping me to go ahead with my
cucumber features? I need it to pass badly!!

Hi there,

I don't think capture_fields is the problem tbh. The problem is just that the roles= setter expects an array but pickle doesn't how to do that (yet).

There are two solutions that I can see to your problem, using current pickle. One is to rewrite your roles= method to convert string to an array.

def roles=(roles)
roles = roles.split(',').map(&:squish) unless roles.is_a?(Array)
...
end

this will convert the arg as follows:

'vendor_admin' => ['vendor_admin']
'vendor_admin, client_admin' => ['vendor_admin', 'client_admin']

Or, write a custom step something like (remember pickle_steps.rb is just a starting point)

Given /a #{capture_model} with role: (/w+) exists/ do |model, role|
user = create_model(model)
user.roles = [role]
end

Hope that helps

Cheers,
Ian

I forgot to tell that I've migrated from this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/pickle-cucumber/browse_thread/thread/52c43d61b0177255
coz that was messed up with google's only support for text.

Yes, this is what I want and I tried it, and I test it, it gives me
regx errors. Tried it to resolve, but the regex error persists.
I'm trying this with the second method.

The feature I am using is
Given a user with role: "vendor_admin" exists

In your regexp, the /w should be a \w

Cheers,
Ian

[millisami]

Well I changed that and now its different error. It tries to find that
roles= method on Array?

@user-roles
Scenario: User with roles # features/
campaigns.feature:31

Given a user with role: vendor_admin exists # features/
step_definitions/user_session_steps.rb:29
undefined method `roles=' for #<Array:0x1038dc8a0>
(NoMethodError)


Step def:
Given /a #{capture_model} with role: (\w+) exists/ do |model, role|

user = create_model(model)
user.roles = [role]
end

[Ian White]

SOrry create_model doesn't do what you might expect...

Try this

create_model(model)
model!(model).roles = [role]

[millisami]

Doing that now its a different error:

@user-roles
Scenario: User with roles # features/
campaigns.feature:31

Given a user with role: vendor_admin exists # features/
step_definitions/user_session_steps.rb:29

can't convert Array into String (TypeError)

[Ian White]

Can you post more stacktrace please. Or use the debugger to see what's going on.

Cheers,
Ian

[millisami]

Here it is.

[Ian White]

Can you please post user_steps.rb as well

[millisami]

Here it is:

Given /a #{capture_model} with role: (\w+) exists/ do |model, role|
user = create_model(model)

model!(user).roles = [role]
end

[Ian White]

Could you tell me the line numbers please

[millisami]

Here it is. http://gist.github.com/449847

[Ian White]

This one's stumping me a bit. Could you try using the following regexp, just for kicks...

Given(/^#{capture_model} exists with role: (\w+)$/ do |user, role|
create_model(user)
model!(user).roles = [role]
end

[millisami]

With that regx, its reg error again:

Sorry list for the spam, just realised I was posting on list, taking this off list.

What might be the error with that regex?

Hi I sent you a reply off list, best to reply to that email.

CHeers,
Ian

[millisami]

Even I changed that, its still the same regex error.
Given(/^a #{capture_model} exists with role: (\w+)$/ do |user, role|

create_model(user)
model!(user).roles = [role]
end

@user-roles
Scenario: User with roles

Given a user exists with role: vendor_admin

Given(/^a #{capture_model} exists with role: (\w+)$/) do |user, role|

So the answer was a missing ) for the Given and not setting user to the output of create_model(user). I’d also remove the “a” at the start since that’s taken care of by capture_model: given a user, given the user, given the first user etc.

[Sachin Sagar Rai]

Yup, the closing ) was the error and also the (\w+)

Since, the step_def is similar if I use 

Given a user exists with role: vendor_admin

I get the following ambiguous error

  @user-roles

  Scenario: User with roles                     # features/campaigns.feature:31

    Given a user exists with role: vendor_admin # features/campaigns.feature:32

      Ambiguous match of "a user exists with role: vendor_admin":

So, I nailed it down with this version

Given a user with role: vendor_admin exists

Thanks a lot Ian for this continuous help.

Glad it's sorted. Apologies for distracted iPhone England watching code musings...  Although it would have been worse in 2 hours when Australia are playing!
