I am trying to run different code using randomly generated types. Creating random types (self.type) works. However, I want to use these types: Early, Late or On Time to conditionally run code based on the string self.type returns. Thanks in advance!
require 'rubygems'
require 'forgery'
class Forgery::MyRecord< Forgery
TYPES= Forgery::Extend([
{ :type => "Early" },
{ :type => "Late" },
{ :type => "On Time" }
])
def self.type
TYPES.random[:type]
end
a=self.type
puts a
This works up to this line of code. It randomly returns Early, Late or On Time.
But, how can I use type in my method? Thanks!
def self.deadline
if self.type=="Early"
puts "early"
#removed other code
elsif if self.type=="Late"
puts "late"
#removed other code
elsif if self.type=="On Time"
puts "on time"
#removed other code
else
puts "Missing"
end
end
b = Forgery::MyRecord.deadline
puts b
end
end
Your problem is: Every time you call type it returns a random value. Therefore you check against different values in each if condition.
Change your code to this:
def self.deadline
case type
when "Early"
puts "early"
# removed other code
when "Late"
puts "late"
#removed other code
when "On Time"
puts "on time"
#removed other code
else
puts "Missing"
end
end

Methods in my class:
def get_class_info
#class_name = get_class_name
end
def get_class_name
puts "Enter the name for your class. Enter 'done' to return to the main prompt."
input = gets.chomp
if input.valid_class_name?
class_name = input.titleize
elsif input.downcase == "done"
run
else
puts "Invalid class name."
get_class_name
end
class_name
end
My test:
it "stores the name in the #class_name property" do
expect(cli.class_name).to eq('Song')
allow(cli).to receive(:gets) {'song'}
cli.get_class_info
end
It fails, saying it expected "Song" but got nil.
If I comment out the expect line and add a pry to the end of the test, querying cli.class_name returns "Song"!!!
Why is this test failing??
Update: Okay, moving the expect line to the bottom of the test apparently solved it. But I'm confused because usually the expectation goes before the actual method call. Am I wrong? What am I missing here?
My class has this #run method that so far is just this, to test the testing:
def run
puts "Enter 'class' to create a new class."
input = $stdin.gets.chomp
binding.pry
And in the tests so far I've got
allow($stdin).to receive(:gets).and_return 'class'
cli.run
Doing it this way I am able to see, in the pry session, that input has been set to 'class', as intended.
Is there a way to do with without adding $stdin to my call to gets in my method itself? i.e., input = gets.chomp
I've tried allow(cli.run).to receive(:gets).and_return 'class'
But then in the pry session, input is equal to the first line of the spec file!
You can avoid this as such:
def run
puts "Enter 'class' to create a new class."
input = gets.chomp
end
describe 'gets' do
it 'belongs to Kernel' do
allow_any_instance_of(Kernel).to receive(:gets).and_return('class')
expect(run).to eq('class')
end
end
The method gets actually belongs to the Kernel module. (method(:gets).owner == Kernel). Since Kernel is included in Object and almost all ruby objects inherit from Object this will work.
Now if run is an instance method scoped in a Class I would recommend scoping the stubbing a bit more such that:
class Test
def run
puts "Enter 'class' to create a new class."
input = gets.chomp
end
end
describe 'gets' do
it 'can be stubbed lower than that' do
allow_any_instance_of(Test).to receive(:gets).and_return('class')
expect(Test.new.run).to eq('class')
end
# or even
it 'or even lower than that' do
cli = Test.new
allow(cli).to receive(:gets).and_return('class')
expect(cli.run).to eq('class')
end
end
Example
I have this simple code
require 'json'
module Html
class JsonHelper
attr_accessor :path
def initialize(path)
#path = path
end
def add(data)
old = JSON.parse(File.read(path))
merged = old.merge(data)
File.write(path, merged.to_json)
end
end
end
and this spec (reduced as much as I could while still working)
require 'html/helpers/json_helper'
describe Html::JsonHelper do
let(:path) { "/test/data.json" }
subject { described_class.new(path) }
describe "#add(data)" do
before(:each) do
allow(File).to receive(:write).with(path, anything) do |path, data|
#saved_string = data
#saved_json = JSON.parse(data)
end
subject.add(new_data)
end
let(:new_data) { { oldestIndex: 100 } }
let(:old_data) { {"test" => 'testing', "old" => 50} }
def stub_old_json
allow(File).to receive(:read).with(path).and_return(#data_before.to_json)
end
context "when given data is not present" do
before(:each) do
puts "HERE"
binding.pry
#data_before = old_data
stub_old_json
end
it "adds data" do
expect(#saved_json).to include("oldestIndex" => 100)
end
it "doesn't change old data" do
expect(#saved_json).to include(old_data)
end
end
end
end
HERE never gets printed and binding.pry doesn't stop execution and tests fail with message No such file or directory # rb_sysopen - /test/data.json
This all means that before(:each) never gets executed.
Why?
How to fix it?
It does not print desired message because it fails at the first before block. Rspec doc about execution order
It fails because you provided an absolute path, so it is checking /test/data.json
Either use relative path to the test ie. ../data.json (just guessing),
or full path.
In case of rails:
Rails.root.join('path_to_folder_with_data_json', 'data.json')
I'm trying to write a test for a case statement using minitest. Would I need to write separate tests for each "when"? I included my code below. Right now it just puts statements, but eventually it's going to redirect users to different methods. Thanks!
require 'pry'
require_relative 'messages'
class Game
attr_reader :user_answer
def initialize(user_answer = gets.chomp.downcase)
#user_answer = user_answer
end
def input
case user_answer
when "i"
puts "information"
when "q"
puts "quitter"
when "p"
puts "player play"
end
end
end
This answer will help you. Nonetheless I'll post one way of applying it to your situation. As suggested by #phortx when initializing a game, override the default user-input with the relevant string. Then by using assert_output we can do something like:
#test_game.rb
require './game.rb' #name and path of your game script
require 'minitest/autorun' #needed to run tests
class GameTest < MiniTest::Test
def setup
#game_i = Game.new("i") #overrides default user-input
#game_q = Game.new("q")
#game_p = Game.new("p")
end
def test_case_i
assert_output(/information\n/) {#game_i.input}
end
def test_case_q
assert_output(/quitter\n/) {#game_q.input}
end
def test_case_p
assert_output(/player play\n/) {#game_p.input}
end
end
Running the tests...
$ ruby test_game.rb
#Run options: --seed 55321
## Running:
#...
#Finished in 0.002367s, 1267.6099 runs/s, 2535.2197 assertions/s.
#3 runs, 6 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
You have to test each case branch. Via RSpec it would work that way:
describe Game do
subject { Game }
describe '#input' do
expect_any_instance_of(Game).to receive(:puts).with('information')
Game.new('i').input
expect_any_instance_of(Game).to receive(:puts).with('quitter')
Game.new('q').input
expect_any_instance_of(Game).to receive(:puts).with('player play')
Game.new('p').input
end
end
However due the fact that puts is ugly to test, you should refactor your code to something like that:
require 'pry'
require_relative 'messages'
class Game
attr_reader :user_answer
def initialize(user_answer = gets.chomp.downcase)
#user_answer = user_answer
end
def input
case user_answer
when "i"
"information"
when "q"
"quitter"
when "p"
"player play"
end
end
def print_input
puts input
end
end
Then you can test with RSpec via:
describe Game do
subject { Game }
describe '#print_input' do
expect_any_instance_of(Game).to receive(:puts).with('quitter')
Game.new('q').print_input
end
describe '#input' do
expect(Game.new('i').input).to eq('information')
expect(Game.new('q').input).to eq('quitter')
expect(Game.new('i').input).to eq('player play')
expect(Game.new('x').input).to eq(nil)
end
end
I have the following class:
I want to ensure the class url is only set once for all instances.
class DataFactory
##url = nil
def initialize()
begin
if ##url.nil?
Rails.logger.debug "Setting url"
##url = MY_CONFIG["my value"]
end
rescue Exception
raise DataFactoryError, "Error!"
end
end
end
I have two tests:
it "should log a message" do
APP_CONFIG = {"my value" => "test"}
Rails.stub(:logger).and_return(logger_mock)
logger_mock.should_receive(:debug).with "Setting url"
t = DataFactory.new
t = nil
end
it "should throw an exception" do
APP_CONFIG = nil
expect {
DataFactory.new
}.to raise_error(DataFactoryError, /Error!/)
end
The problem is the second test never throws an exception as the ##url class variable is still set from the first test when the second test runs.
Even though I have se the instance to nil at the end of the first test garbage collection has not cleared the memory before the second test runs:
Any ideas would be great!
I did hear you could possibly use Class.new but I am not sure how to go about this.
describe DataFactory
before(:each) { DataFactory.class_variable_set :##url, nil }
...
end
Here is an alternative to the accepted answer, which while wouldn't solve your particular example, I'm hoping it might help a few people with a question in the same vein. If the class in question doesn't specify a default value, and remains undefined until set, this seems to work:
describe DataFactory
before(:each) do
DataFactory.remove_class_variable :##url if DataFactory.class_variable_defined? :##url
end
...
end
Works for me with a class with something more like:
def initialize
##url ||= MY_CONFIG["my value"]
...
end
