使用对象参数和额外ID模拟POST请求

Question

I'm doing RSpec tests in a ROR application and I need to simulate a post action in order to test a controller.

The normal use is like this:

post :candidate, candidate: FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:candidate)

My problem is that I also need to pass an id that comes from the url. The action url is this one:

candidates POST    /positions/:id/candidate(.:format)      positions#candidate

So what I need is something like this:

post :candidate, candidate: FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:candidate), id: position.id

How can I simulate a post request with object attributes and also an id?

In the normal use the output in the rails server is this:

Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "candidate"=>{"first_name"=>"John", "last_name"=>"Doe", "email"=>"john@gmail.com", "phone_number"=>"+351911111111", "skype_id"=>"qwe", "linkedin_url"=>"qwe", "why_work_with_us"=>"qwe", "resume_url"=>"qwe", "portfolio_url"=>"qwe"}, "id"=>"2"}

Answer 1

You can send all the required params in a params hash. So, build a params hash and then pass that to the post call like this:

let(:params) { { candidate: FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:candidate), id: position.id } }
post :candidate, params
