Nested Resource testing RSpec
- by Joseph DelCioppio
I have two models:
class Solution < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :owner, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key => :user_id
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :solutions
end
with the following routing:
map.resources :users, :has_many => :solutions
and here is the SolutionsController:
class SolutionsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :load_user
def index
@solutions = @user.solutions
end
private
def load_user
@user = User.find(params[:user_id]) unless params[:user_id].nil?
end
end
Can anybody help me with writing a test for the index action? So far I have tried the following but it doesn't work:
describe SolutionsController do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory.create(:user)
@solutions = 7.times{Factory.build(:solution, :owner => @user)}
@user.stub!(:solutions).and_return(@solutions)
end
it "should find all of the solutions owned by a user" do
@user.should_receive(:solutions)
get :index, :user_id => @user.id
end
end
And I get the following error:
Spec::Mocks::MockExpectationError in 'SolutionsController GET index, when the user owns the software he is viewing should find all of the solutions owned by a user'
#<User:0x000000041c53e0> expected :solutions with (any args) once, but received it 0 times
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Joe
