In Rspec, testing whether an instance is able to call method x.
DockingStation.rb
class DockingStation
def release_bike
end
end
Docking_spec.rb
require_relative '../lib/DockingStation'
describe DockingStation do
before(:each) do
#dockstat = DockingStation.new
end
describe "#DockingStation" do
it "Check release method" do
expect(#dockstat).to respond_to(:release_bike)
end
end
end
Currently getting the following error message:
1) DockingStation#DockingStation Check release method
Failure/Error: expect(#dockstat).to respond_to(:release_bike)
expected #<DockingStation:0x007fa518a6da00> to respond to :release_bike
# ./spec/Docking_spec.rb:10:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
What I'm expecting is for the object #dockstat instantiated in the Docking_spec.rb to respond to the release_bike method defined in DockingStation.rb, but this is not the case.
require_relative '../DockingStation'

Not sure if my syntax is right, it doesn't seem to recognise the stub I've passed to my double.
class Robot
def boogie friend
friend.dances
end
end
Test:
describe Robot do
let(:robo_friend){double(:friend, {dances: true})}
it "should have a friend dance too" do
expect(subject.boogie :robo_friend).to be true
end
end
And the error:
Robot should have a friend dance too
Failure/Error: expect(subject.boogie :robo_friend).to be true
NoMethodError:
undefined method `dances' for :robo_friend:Symbol
# ./lib/robot.rb:3:in `boogie'
# ./spec/robot_spec.rb:8:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>'
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
This will work, you need to pass the object and not a symbol.
describe Robot do
let(:robo_friend) { double("Friend", dances: true) }
it "should have a friend dance too" do
expect(subject.boogie(robo_friend).to eq(true)
end
end
I have an rspec test on a pure Ruby model:
require 'spec_helper'
require 'organization'
describe Organization do
context '#is_root?' do
it "creates a root organization" do
org = Organization.new
expect { org.is_root?.to eq true }
end
end
end
My organization model looks like this:
class Organization
attr_accessor :parent
def initialize(parent = nil)
self.parent = parent
end
end
The output when running the tests:
bundle exec rspec spec/organization_spec.rb:6
Run options: include {:locations=>{"./spec/organization_spec.rb"=>[6]}}
.
Finished in 0.00051 seconds
1 example, 0 failures
When I run the test, it passes, despite the fact that the method is_root? doesn't exist on the model. I usually work in Rails, not pure Ruby, and I've never seen this happen. What is going on?
Thanks!
It should be:
expect(org.is_root?).to eq true
When you pass block to expect it is being wrapped in ExpectationTarget class (strictly speaking BlockExpectationTarget < ExpectationTarget). Since you didn't specify what you expect from this object, the block is never executed, hence no error is raised.
You are passing a block to expect, which is never being called. You can see this by setting an expectation on that block
expect { org.is_root?.to eq true }.to_not raise_error
1) Organization#is_root? creates a root organization
Failure/Error: expect { puts "HI";org.is_root?.to eq true }.to_not raise_error
expected no Exception, got #<NoMethodError: undefined method `is_root?' for #<Organization:0x007ffa798c2ed8 #parent=nil>> with backtrace:
# ./test_spec.rb:15:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
# ./test_spec.rb:15:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
# ./test_spec.rb:15:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
Or by just putting a plain raise or puts inside the block, neither of which will be called:
expect { puts "HI"; raise; org.is_root?.to eq true }
The block form is used for expecting that a piece of code raises an exception or not. The correct syntax for checking values is:
expect(org.is_root?).to eq(true)
I have a module in app/misc/dsl/builder.rb that has this code
module Dsl
class Builder
def initialize(context, &block)
return if not block_given?
parent_context = block.binding.eval "self"
parent_context.extend Proxy
parent_context.object = context
parent_context.instance_eval &block
end
end
def self.set_context(context, &block)
Dsl::Builder.new(context, &block)
end
end
Note: this directory misc is preloaded in application.rb
config.autoload_paths += Dir[Rails.root.join('app', 'models', '{**/}'),
Rails.root.join('app', 'misc', '{**/}')
]
Then, somewhere in the text (lets say at foo.rb) I have this code:
Dsl.set_context(obj) do
#some code with obj receiving messages
end
The test stack we are using consists on Zeus+Guard+Rspec. Now, lets say I rewrite the code to something not working
Dsl.set_context(obj) do
asdqwe #this message does not exists
end
From times to times, I receive this baffling message
1) SomeOtherClass search_hash receiving keywords params should query for those keywords
Failure/Error: subject.search_hash
NoMethodError:
undefined method `set_context' for Dsl:Module
# ./app/misc/product_query.rb:116:in `base_search_hash'
# ./app/misc/product_query.rb:25:in `search_hash'
# ./spec/misc/product_query_spec.rb:78:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
# -e:1:in `<main>'
instead of the correct message that should be regarding undefined method asdqwe
Any clue about this?
Look here
it says:
Rails 3 has been updated such that classes/modules (henceforth, C/M)
are lazy loaded from the autoload paths as they are needed
so, you can do require_relative 'app/misc/dsl/builder.rb' in your rspec_helper.rb (can it be better with just require?) The problem must be that the loader doesn't know in advance where to find Dsl.set_context, but he will know once you have referenced Dsl::Builder
Hope it helps
I'm trying to spec a module by including it in a basic mock_model object. However, when I call the instance method defined in the module ActiveRecord tries to establish a connection with the database.
The module:
module Stuff
module SoftDelete
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
def soft_delete
puts "Called here"
end
end
end
The Spec:
describe Stuff::SoftDelete do
class Network < ActiveRecord::Base
include Stuff::SoftDelete
attr_accessor :deleted_at
end
before (:each) do
#network = mock_model(Network)
end
context "When a record is deleted" do
it "is marked as deleted" do
#network.soft_delete
end
end
end
When I run this Spec, the following error occurs:
1) Stuff::SoftDelete When a record is deleted is marked as deleted
Failure/Error: #network.soft_delete
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished:
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished
# ./spec/apoc/soft_delete_spec.rb:18:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
Note: If I include the SoftDelete module in a real ActiveRecord class, it will work. It just seems that mock_model isn't able to deal with the module.
Would love some help on this one.
Thanks!
Do you trust ActiveRecord? If so, don't inherit from it; test your module in isolation. If your module includes calls ActiveRecord methods, stub them and test only your code.
I'm having problems getting this simple test to pass on RSpec 2.8.
I want to write a simple test for the absence of parameters on a method that requires them (i.e. ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments ('x' for 'y')).
My test is testing a Gem module method like so:
describe "#ip_lookup" do
it "should raise an ArgumentError error if no parameters passed" do
expect(#geolocater.ip_lookup).to raise_error(ArgumentError)
end
end
My gem module code looks like this:
module Geolocater
def ip_lookup(ip_address)
return ip_address
end
end
My spec runs with this output.
Failure/Error: expect(#geolocater.ip_lookup).to raise_error(ArgumentError)
ArgumentError:
wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)
# ./lib/geolocater.rb:4:in `ip_lookup'
# ./spec/geolocater_spec.rb:28:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
What am I missing here?
You need to pass a block to #expect, not a regular argument:
describe "#ip_lookup" do
it "should raise an ArgumentError error if no parameters passed" do
expect { #geolocater.ip_lookup }.to raise_error(ArgumentError)
end
end
