Write test cases for model using rspec with 100% coverage

Question

Hi I am working on RoR project with ruby-2.5.0 and Rails 5. I have a forgot_password model and i am writting test cases for it using rspec. I have two methods in model as follows:-

class ForgotPassword < ApplicationRecord
  before_create :create_token

  def self.create_record(user)
    forgot_password = create!(expiry: Time.zone.now + ENV['VALIDITY_PERIOD'].to_i.hours)
    send_forgot_password_email user, forgot_password
    forgot_password
  end

  def self.send_forgot_password_email(user, forgot_password)
    return if Rails.env == 'test'
    Mailjet::Send.create(from_email:  ENV['MIALJET_DEFAULT_FROM'],
                         from_name: ENV['MIALJET_FROM_NAME'],
                         to: user.email,
                         subject: 'Forgot Password',
                         text_part: forgot_password.token)
  end

  private

  def create_token
    self.token = SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64(nil, false)
  end
end

First method creates a record of forgot_password and another method send an email using mailjet. My spec is as follows:-

spec/models/forgot_password_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'

RSpec.describe ForgotPassword, type: :model do
  user = FactoryBot.create(:user)

  describe '#create_record' do
    it 'do not raise_error' do
      expect { ForgotPassword.create_record(user) }.not_to raise_error
    end

    it 'increment the count of ForgotPassword' do
      expect { ForgotPassword.create_record(user) }.to change(ForgotPassword, :count)
        .from(0).to(1)
    end

    it 'return instance of ForgotPassword' do
      expect(ForgotPassword.create_record(user)).to be_instance_of(ForgotPassword)
    end

    it 'return nil when env is test' do
      expect(ForgotPassword.send_forgot_password_email(user,ForgotPassword.last)).to eq(nil)
    end
  end
end

When i run RAILS_ENV=test bundle exec rake i got Coverage (99.58%) is below the expected minimum coverage (100.00%) Please help me to write the missing case. when i remove return if Rails.env == 'test' this line from send_forgot_password_email method it covers 100%. Please help me to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use MailJet through ActionMailer . Make sure ActionMailer doesn't send out emails in the test env:

# config/environments/test.rb
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :test

and use enqueue_email RSpec matcher .

Also, don't do this:

user = FactoryBot.create(:user)

outside of the example scope. See this work-in-progress rubocop-rspec cop for explanation. If your intent is to reuse the record in several examples, take a look at let_it_be from test-prof .
