When Running Rspec and Sinatra, I keep getting ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0) - ruby

Question

I've got a class method called authenticate, which works on the User class.
def self.authenticate(email:, password:)
result = DatabaseConnection.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '#{email}'")
User.new(result[0]['id'], result[0]['email'])
end
I have an Rspec test;
feature 'authentication' do
it 'a user can sign in' do
User.create(email: 'test#example.com', password: 'password123')
visit 'sessions/new'
fill_in(:email, with: 'test#example.com')
fill_in(:password, with: 'password123')
click_button 'Sign In'
expect(page).to have_content 'Welcome, test#example.com'
end
end
When running Rspec, I get the following error;
1) authentication a user can sign in
Failure/Error:
def initialize(id:, email:)
#id = id
#email = email
end
ArgumentError:
wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 0)
# ./lib/user.rb:15:in `initialize'
# ./lib/user.rb:23:in `new'
# ./lib/user.rb:23:in `authenticate'
# ./app.rb:84:in `block in <class:BookmarkManager>'
Below is my Sinatra app;
require 'sinatra/base'
require './lib/bookmark'
require './lib/user'
require './database_connection_setup.rb'
require 'uri'
require 'sinatra/flash'
require_relative './lib/tag'
require_relative './lib/bookmark_tag'
class BookmarkManager < Sinatra::Base
enable :sessions, :method_override
register Sinatra::Flash
get '/' do
"Bookmark Manager"
end
get '/bookmarks' do
#user = User.find(session[:user_id])
#bookmarks = Bookmark.all
erb :'bookmarks/index'
end
post '/bookmarks' do
flash[:notice] = "You must submit a valid URL" unless Bookmark.create(url: params[:url], title: params[:title])
redirect '/bookmarks'
end
get '/bookmarks/new' do
erb :'bookmarks/new'
end
delete '/bookmarks/:id' do
Bookmark.delete(id: params[:id])
redirect '/bookmarks'
end
patch '/bookmarks/:id' do
Bookmark.update(id: params[:id], title: params[:title], url: params[:url])
redirect('/bookmarks')
end
get '/bookmarks/:id/edit' do
#bookmark = Bookmark.find(id: params[:id])
erb :'bookmarks/edit'
end
get '/bookmarks/:id/comments/new' do
#bookmark_id = params[:id]
erb :'comments/new'
end
post '/bookmarks/:id/comments' do
Comment.create(text: params[:comment], bookmark_id: params[:id])
redirect '/bookmarks'
end
get '/bookmarks/:id/tags/new' do
#bookmark_id = params[:id]
erb :'/tags/new'
end
post '/bookmarks:id/tags' do
tag = Tag.create(content: params[:tag])
BookmarkTag.create(bookmark_id: params[:id], tag_id: tag.id)
redirect '/bookmarks'
end
get '/users/new' do
erb :'users/new'
end
post '/users' do
user = User.create(email: params[:email], password: params[:password])
session[:user_id] = user.id
redirect '/bookmarks'
end
get '/sessions/new' do
erb :'sessions/new'
end
post '/sessions' do
user = User.authenticate(email: params[:email], password: params[:password])
if user
session[:user_id] = user.id
redirect('/bookmarks')
else
flash[:notice] = 'Please check your email or password.'
redirect('/sessions/new')
end
end
run! if app_file == $0
end
Below is the full User class
require_relative './database_connection'
require 'bcrypt'
class User
def self.create(email:, password:)
encypted_password = BCrypt::Password.create(password
)
result = DatabaseConnection.query("INSERT INTO users (email, password) VALUES('#{email}', '#{encypted_password}') RETURNING id, email;")
User.new(id: result[0]['id'], email: result[0]['email'])
end
attr_reader :id, :email
def initialize(id:, email:)
#id = id
#email = email
end
def self.authenticate(email:, password:)
result = DatabaseConnection.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '#{email}'")
User.new(result[0]['id'], result[0]['email'])
end
def self.find(id)
return nil unless id
result = DatabaseConnection.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = #{id}")
User.new(
id: result[0]['id'],
email: result[0]['email'])
end
end
What I don't understand is, why is Rspec saying it was expecting 0 arguments, when the initialize method clearly requires two arguments (id, and, email)?
I need to take the id and email method from authenticate and deliver it to initialize.
I thought that's what I was doing, but both Rspec and sinatra are saying otherwise.
Thanks, in advance.

Answer 1

Here you are passing id as sequential args (in the authenticate method).
User.new(result[0]['id'], result[0]['email'])
However your User.new expects keyword args:
def initialize(id:, email:)
Simply pass them this way:
User.new(id: result[0]['id'], email: result[0]['email'])
Also, just something I noticed, if your DatabaseConnection.query returns no results your authenticate will raise an error from result[0]['id'] (it will say "Undefined method [] for Nil:NilClass". Maybe you should fix this and add a test case for it, for example:
def self.authenticate(email:, password:)
result = DatabaseConnection.query(
"SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '#{email}'"
)
record = result[0]
if record
User.new(id: result[0]['id'], email: result[0]['email'])
end
end
This way the method will return nil if there's no matching user, and your if user inside post '/sessions' will work properly.
