Thanks a lot Nick...
No, i'm not using Authlogic because already have base project with
restful_authentication implemented with activation, roles and etc... and
when I look authlogic the project was young, I don't know now.
About Martin Fowler post, I already readed... but the problem is because I
know the diference between mocks and stubs ( mocks really call the method
and it fail return a error, and stubs only return the result without check
real method, right? ) but I don't know how use it in RSpec...
I'm starting understand now in this post ( my idea is copy this thread and
translate to portuguese to help more people)... My doubt about mock and
stubs is when I write this:
@user = mock_model User => create mock object based on User and put in
@user.
but when I write the code below, the method User.name will not be called in
this moment, but will be called when User class try to call name and will
return 'Bob' no matter what the real name method does... is this?
@user.stub!(:name).and_return('Bob')
About my previous code... I mocked User in instance variable @user but I
have will_paginate installed and this bring a strange error when I try:
@user.sohuld_receive(:properties).and_return([mock_property])
The error is:
1)
NoMethodError in 'PropertiesController responding to GET index should expose
all properties of given user as @properties'
undefined method `find' for #<Class:0x23a0f64>
/Users/daniellopes/Trabalhos/luvima/luvima/vendor/gems/mislav-will_paginate-2.3.6/lib/will_paginate/finder.rb:167:in
`method_missing'
/Users/daniellopes/Trabalhos/luvima/luvima/app/controllers/properties_controller.rb:61:in
`load_user'
./spec/controllers/properties_controller_spec.rb:20:
spec/controllers/sessions_controller_spec.rb:102:
My spec code is:
describe PropertiesController do
def mock_property(stubs={})
@mock_property ||= mock_model(Property, stubs)
end
before :each do
@current_user = mock_model(User, :id => 1)
controller.stub!(:check_administrator_role).and_return(true)
User.stub!(:find).and_return(@user)
end
describe "responding to GET index" do
it "should expose all properties of given user as @properties" do
@user.should_receive(:properties).and_return([mock_property])
get :index
assigns[:properties].should == [mock_property]
end
end
And my controller code where error refer is:
private
def load_user
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
if @user.nil?
flash[:notice] = "Registro não encontrado"
redirect_to root_path
end
end
