Stange Rspec测试失败

Question

I'm developing a Rails 3.2 application, with test coverage, but for some reason some of my test are failing. The same spec works for another model.

Spec are run with Rspec, FactoryGirl, Shoulda-Matchers.

This is the failing spec: http://pastebin.com/8VWCAv79

The errors are:

Failures:

  1) PlacesController POST create when user is logged in with valid params redirects to the created place
     Failure/Error: response.should redirect_to(Place.last)
       Expected response to be a <:redirect>, but was <200>
     # ./spec/controllers/places_controller_spec.rb:109:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'

  2) PlacesController POST create when user is logged in with valid params assigns a newly created place as @place
     Failure/Error: assigns(:place).should be_persisted
       expected persisted? to return true, got false
     # ./spec/controllers/places_controller_spec.rb:104:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'

  3) PlacesController POST create when user is logged in with valid params creates a new Place
     Failure/Error: expect {
       count should have been changed by 1, but was changed by 0
     # ./spec/controllers/places_controller_spec.rb:96:in `block (5 levels) in <top (required)>'

Failed examples:

rspec ./spec/controllers/places_controller_spec.rb:107 # PlacesController POST create when user is logged in with valid params redirects to the created place
rspec ./spec/controllers/places_controller_spec.rb:101 # PlacesController POST create when user is logged in with valid params assigns a newly created place as @place
rspec ./spec/controllers/places_controller_spec.rb:95 # PlacesController POST create when user is logged in with valid params creates a new Place

The quite same spec are present in another file, http://pastebin.com/r8HtAwSR , and are correctly passing, without problem.

These are the controller files:

• http://pastebin.com/C40Bti0m ( failing spec )
• http://pastebin.com/AHnn3Nh0 ( working spec )

Can anyone suggest me how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Well it looks like the new place isn't created for some reason (my guess is, it doesn't pass validations).

Try to debug your tests. I like using pry . Just add to your gemfile gem 'pry' , run bundle and then you can set breakpoints in the execution.

For example try this:

it "redirects to the created place" do
  post :create, {:place => valid_attributes}
  binding.pry
  response.should redirect_to(Place.last)
end

The execution will stop at the point, where you insert 'binding.pry' and you can check what is the last place in your terminal.
