Tested in browser and works fine. Test error says "expected result to have changed from 0 to 1, but did not change". Is this a factory issue or rspec issue? Why is it not changing?
Error:
Failures:
1) ShortLinksController Short links controller Clicking a short link increments the click counter by 1
Failure/Error: expect{ get :url_dispatch, { id: short_link.short_link } }.to change{short_link.click_counter}.from(0).to(1)
expected result to have changed from 0 to 1, but did not change
# ./spec/controllers/short_links_controller_spec.rb:34:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
Rspec:
it "increments the click counter by 1" do
short_link = create(:short_link)
expect{ get :url_dispatch, { id: short_link.short_link } }.to change{short_link.click_counter}.from(0).to(1)
end
Controller:
def url_dispatch
id = params[:id]
record = ShortLink.where(["short_link = ?", id]).first
if record.update(click_counter: record.click_counter + 1)
redirect_to record.redirect_to
else
render '/not_found'
end
end
Factory:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :short_link do
redirect_to "http://google.com"
title "This is the google page"
short_link "xGh7u"
click_counter 0
owner Owner.create!(first_name: "Bob", last_name: "Diller", email: "bdiller@example.com")
end
end
per Fab's request, here is how I'm currently working around the issue.
context 'save invocations' do
before(:each) do
@org = create(:organization)
user = create(:user, organization: @org, is_admin: true)
sign_in user
end
it 'valid scenario' do
user2 = create(:user, organization: @org, is_admin: false)
put :update, id: user2, user: { is_admin: true }
user2.reload
expect(response).to have_http_status(204)
expect(user2.is_admin).to eq true
end
end
Here I'm calling user2.reload
in order to get the updated attributes from the user2 factory.
I don't know why the expect{}
syntax doesn't work for factories but you could refactor your code like this:
it "increments the click counter by 1" do
short_link = create(:short_link)
count = short_link.click_counter
get :url_dispatch, { id: short_link.short_link }
short_link.reload
expect(short_link.click_counter).to eq count + 1
end
Again I'm not saying this is best practice, I just couldn't find anything in the FactoryGirl documentation regarding RSpec 3 expect syntax in controllers that update attributes.
