Hello list! In my efforts of following BDD in a disciplined manner, I found myself needing to spec a Rails action.
The behavior I wanted to test was: "This controller should handle the index action", and since it is not good practice to go to the implementation before specing, I decided to spec the action too, so I could start defining it. I did: describe MyController do it "should handle get requests to the index action" do get :index response.should be_success end The problem is the assertion. Even if you don't have the action, the http response will be 200 OK. I tried to check for the "Unknown Action" text (with the have_text matcher) but strangely enough, even if you don't have the action defined in the controller, the response body is always empty (which doesn't happen if you request from mongrel, which shows an "Unknown action" page. Any ideas on how I could assert that the index action exists and that it fails when it is not there? Maybe this test doesn't make sense? Any suggestions welcome! Thanks, Marcelo. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
