I've written a story and I run into a snag.
I've written the create_forum method and told it to set the id to 1
but when it creates the forum the id is autoincremented.
My forums table is empty but the id keeps incrementing the newest record on
creation.
When I run the story it comes out as something like 59 which fails my story
because I'm asking it to look at /forums/1
I thought of using my named routes instead of specifying the path as a
string.
That worked up until the point when I reached:
When "creating a new topic titled", "Nicks Mom" do |title|
post topics(@forum, ??? ), :topic => { :title => title, :body => "She is
teh hotZ!" }
end
The problem was since its a nested routed I couldn't complete the post
request without specifying the topic_id.
But since the topic hasn't been created yet their is no way (that I know of)
to pass the id since I don't know what it will be.
I would think the better practice is to state the paths as strings instead
of using the nested routes.
require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "helper")
Story "User creates a new topic", %{
As a user
I want to create a new topic
So that I can dicuss Nick's Mom
}, :type => RailsStory do
Scenario "Successfully create a new topic in the 'General' forum" do
Given "a user named", "Jon" do |login|
@user = create_user login
end
Given "a forum named", "General" do |name|
@forum = create_forum name
puts @forum.id
end
And "user logged in successfully and was redirect to", "/" do |path|
post "/session/create", :login => "Jon", :password => "your_momma"
response.should redirect_to("/")
end
And "user is looking at", "/forums/1" do |path|
get path
response.should be_success
end
When "creating a new topic titled", "Nicks Mom" do |title|
post "/forums/1/topics/1/create", :topic => { :id => 1, :title =>
title, :body => "She is teh hotZ!" }
end
Then "user should be redirected to", "/forums/1/topics/1" do |path|
get path
response.should be_success
end
end
Scenario "Failed creating a new topic due to blank fields" do; end
Scenario "Sticky a new thread" do; end
Scenario "Annoucment as a new thread" do; end
end
def create_user(login)
user = User.create!(
:login => login,
:email => "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
:password => "your_momma",
:password_confirmation => "your_momma",
:display_name => "Jon")
user
end
def create_forum(name)
forum = Forum.create!(
:id => 1,
:name => name,
:description => "Everything from the latest gossip to the coolest
youtube videos.")
forum
end
How do I stop the incrementing?
