Hi everybody,
New to the list, so apologies if this has been answered elsewhere,
but I didn't find it. I'm trying to build up a plugin of useful
rspec macros for rails development, eg. things like:
it_should_return_success
it_should_redirect_to { some_url }
I'm basing my ideas off of some stuff technoweenie has done, as well
as a few others.
One thing I'd love to do is be able to figure out the model class in
a rails model spec, so I can do something like:
describe User do
it_should_validate_presence_of :name
end
I can get it working if I pass in User as an argument:
describe User do
it_should_validate_presence_of User, :name
end
but that feels redundant. Is there a way to access the class itself
that I'm missing? On the controller spec side, I see there is
controller_class_name, but that needs to be set with the
controller_name method. I could go for something like that if
required, but somehow it seems like it would be overkill.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!
Why not something like this:
before(:each) { @user = User.new }
it { @user.validate_presence_of(:name) }
