By using the macro helpers you can quickly and easily create concise and easy to read test suites.
This code segment:
context "on GET to :show for first record" do setup do get :show, :id => 1 end should_assign_to :user should_respond_with :success should_render_template :show should_not_set_the_flash should "do something else really cool" do assert_equal 1, assigns(:user).id end end
Would produce 5 tests for the show action
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#assign_to instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller assigned to each of the named instance variable(s).
Options:
If a block is passed, the assigned variable is expected to be equal to the return value of that block.
Example:
should_assign_to :user, :posts should_assign_to :user, :class => User should_assign_to(:user) { @user }
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#filter_param instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that filter_parameter_logging is set for the specified keys
Example:
should_filter_params :password, :ssn
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#assign_to instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller did not assign to any of the named instance variable(s).
Example:
should_not_assign_to :user, :posts
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#set_the_flash instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the flash is empty.
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#redirect_to instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller returned a redirect to the given path. The passed description will be used when generating a test name. Expects a block that returns the expected path for the redirect.
Example:
should_redirect_to("the user's profile") { user_url(@user) }
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#render_template instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller rendered the given template. Example:
should_render_template :new
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#render_with_layout instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller rendered with the given layout. Example:
should_render_with_layout 'special'
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#render_with_layout instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller rendered without a layout. Same as @should_render_with_layout false@
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#respond_with instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the controller responded with a ‘response’ status code. Example:
should_respond_with :success
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#respond_with_content_type instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the response content type was ‘content_type’. Example:
should_respond_with_content_type 'application/rss+xml' should_respond_with_content_type :rss should_respond_with_content_type /rss/
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#route instead.
Macro that creates a routing test. It tries to use the given HTTP method on the given path, and asserts that it routes to the given options.
If you don‘t specify a :controller, it will try to guess the controller based on the current test.
to_param is called on the options given.
Examples:
should_route :get, "/posts", :controller => :posts, :action => :index should_route :get, "/posts/new", :action => :new should_route :post, "/posts", :action => :create should_route :get, "/posts/1", :action => :show, :id => 1 should_route :edit, "/posts/1", :action => :show, :id => 1 should_route :put, "/posts/1", :action => :update, :id => 1 should_route :delete, "/posts/1", :action => :destroy, :id => 1 should_route :get, "/users/1/posts/1", :action => :show, :id => 1, :user_id => 1
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#set_session instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that a value returned from the session is correct. Expects the session key as a parameter, and a block that returns the expected value.
Example:
should_set_session(:user_id) { @user.id } should_set_session(:message) { "Free stuff" }
Deprecated: use ActionController::Matchers#set_the_flash instead.
Macro that creates a test asserting that the flash contains the given value. Expects a String or Regexp.
Example:
should_set_the_flash_to "Thank you for placing this order." should_set_the_flash_to /created/i
