capybara +rspec: Post "/api/albums" not working - ruby

Question

So I am trying to create an item using POST method. But it doesn't seem to post the item.
When I do get /api/albums seems to respond fine and my test passes.
/album_spec.rb:
describe AlbumController do
before :each do
#user =FactoryGirl.create(:person)
#album = FactoryGirl.create(:album)
end
it "creates first story on login", :js => true do
login(#user)
post "/api/albums/", :format => :api_v1,:album =>#album
response.should be_success
end
it "gets album", :js=> true do
get "api/albums/"
response.should be_success
end
end
spec_helper.rb:
require 'rubygems'
require 'spork'
#uncomment the following line to use spork with the debugger
#require 'spork/ext/ruby-debug'
Spork.prefork do
# Loading more in this block will cause your tests to run faster. However,
# if you change any configuration or code from libraries loaded here, you'll
# need to restart spork for it take effect.
ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", __FILE__)
require 'rspec/rails'
require 'rspec/autorun'
require 'capybara/rspec'
require "capybara-screenshot"
require "factory_girl_rails"
# Requires supporting ruby files with custom matchers and macros, etc,
# in spec/support/ and its subdirectories.
Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/**/*.rb")].each { |f| require f }
#Capybara.defualt_wait_time = 10
if ENV['BROWSER_TEST']
Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)
end
else
Capybara.javascript_driver = :selenium
end
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Capybara::DSL
config.include(EmailSpec::Helpers)
config.include(EmailSpec::Matchers)
config.treat_symbols_as_metadata_keys_with_true_values = true
config.filter_run :focus => true
config.run_all_when_everything_filtered = true
config.include RequestHelpers, :type => :request
config.before(:suite) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end
config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.start
end
config.after(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean
end
config.infer_base_class_for_anonymous_controllers = false
end
end
Spork.each_run do
# This code will be run each time you run your specs.
FactoryGirl.reload
end

Answer 1

I found the solution for myself. In the album factory, I had to add more attributes to make sure that the #user and album.user match.
#album = FactoryGirl.create(:album,person_id=>#user.id)
And then my test case looked like this
it "creates first story on login"do
login_as #user
post "/api/albums/", :format =>":api_v1",:album =>#album.attributes
response.should be_success
a = Album.last
a.person_id.should == #user.id #verifying user_ids match end
end
