module Spec module Rails module Example # Controller Examples live in $RAILS_ROOT/spec/controllers/. # # Controller Examples use Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup, which supports running specs for # Controllers in two modes, which represent the tension between the more granular # testing common in TDD and the more high level testing built into # rails. BDD sits somewhere in between: we want to a balance between # specs that are close enough to the code to enable quick fault # isolation and far enough away from the code to enable refactoring # with minimal changes to the existing specs. # # == Isolation mode (default) # # No dependencies on views because none are ever rendered. The # benefit of this mode is that can spec the controller completely # independent of the view, allowing that responsibility to be # handled later, or by somebody else. Combined w/ separate view # specs, this also provides better fault isolation. # # == Integration mode # # To run in this mode, include the +integrate_views+ declaration # in your controller context: # # describe ThingController do # integrate_views # ... # # In this mode, controller specs are run in the same way that # rails functional tests run - one set of tests for both the # controllers and the views. The benefit of this approach is that # you get wider coverage from each spec. Experienced rails # developers may find this an easier approach to begin with, however # we encourage you to explore using the isolation mode and revel # in its benefits. # # == Expecting Errors # # Rspec on Rails will raise errors that occur in controller actions. # In contrast, Rails will swallow errors that are raised in controller # actions and return an error code in the header. If you wish to override # Rspec and have Rail's default behaviour,tell the controller to use # rails error handling ... # # before(:each) do # controller.use_rails_error_handling! # end # # When using Rail's error handling, you can expect error codes in headers ... # # it "should return an error in the header" do # response.should be_error # end # # it "should return a 501" do # response.response_code.should == 501 # end # # it "should return a 501" do # response.code.should == "501" # end class ControllerExampleGroup < FunctionalExampleGroup class << self # Use this to instruct RSpec to render views in your controller examples (Integration Mode). # # describe ThingController do # integrate_views # ... # # See Spec::Rails::Example::ControllerExampleGroup for more information about # Integration and Isolation modes. def integrate_views @integrate_views = true end def integrate_views? # :nodoc: @integrate_views end # You MUST provide a controller_name within the context of # your controller specs: # # describe "ThingController" do # controller_name :thing # ... def controller_name(name) @controller_class_name = "#{name}_controller".camelize end attr_accessor :controller_class_name # :nodoc: end before(:each) do # Some Rails apps explicitly disable ActionMailer in environment.rb if defined?(ActionMailer) @deliveries = [] ActionMailer::Base.deliveries = @deliveries end unless @controller.class.ancestors.include?(ActionController::Base) Spec::Expectations.fail_with <<-EOE You have to declare the controller name in controller specs.
