I'm new to rspec and, of course, my first time out and I'm tripped up by
what appears to me to be a bug.
A simple demonstration:
script/generate rspec_scaffold GoodDocument title:string body:text
>From spec/views/good_documents/edit.html.erb_spec.rb:
before(:each) do
assigns[:good_document] = @good_document = stub_model(GoodDocument,
:new_record? => false,
:title => "value for title",
:body => "value for body"
)
end
script/generate rspec_scaffold BadDocument some_id:integer title:string
body:text someother_id:integer
>From spec/views/bad_documents/edit.html.erb_spec.rb:
before(:each) do
assigns[:bad_document] = @bad_document = stub_model(BadDocument,
:new_record? => false,
:title => "value for title",
:body => "value for body",
)
end
Notice how bad_documents/edit...'s stub_model is missing both the
*:..._id*fields and how the
*:body* field line is comma terminated. After chasing down the comma (which
caused rspec test to fail with a syntax error) I found that using *
:..._identifier* will also trigger the problem. This only appears in the
spec/views, spec/models have all attributes included in the *
@valid_attributes* hash.
So I think there are two problems here:
1) field name which includes some undefined magic will be silently untested
in the generated view specs
2) same name if it occupies the last slot in the record will cause the test
to fail due to spec format
