In our Rails 3.1.0 app, we need to modify params passed to rfq controller in create and update. For example, we want to record the current user id under input_by_id. What we did was:
@rfq.input_by_id = session[:user_id]
It worked as expected. Also when need_report field is false, then report_language field should be nil. We decide to add the following line in rfq controller to make sure the nil is passed to report_language when need_report is false:
@rfq.report_language = nil unless params[:need_report]
However this addition causes the rspec case failure (in create/update of the controller) because of the data validation failure. However when we fire up the app, it behaves fine without saving the report_language when need_report is false. I am wondering if the line above is not the right way to use params[:need_report] for @rfq updating.
Thanks so much.
UPDATE:
Controller code:
def create
if has_create_right?
@rfq = Rfq.new(params[:rfq], :as => :roles_new )
@rfq.input_by_id = session[:user_id]
#save sales_id selected
if sales? && member? && !team_lead?
@rfq.sales_id = session[:user_id]
end
#view page may carry the hidden report language even if need_report == false
@rfq.report_language = nil unless params[:need_report]
#save into join table rfqs_standards
params[:rfq][:standard_ids].each do |sid|
@rfq.standards << Standard.find(sid.to_i) if !sid.nil? && sid.to_i > 0
end unless params[:rfq][:standard_ids].nil?
#save into join table rfqs_test_items
params[:rfq][:test_item_ids].each do |tid|
@rfq.test_items << TestItem.find(tid.to_i) if !tid.nil? && tid.to_i > 0
end unless params[:rfq][:test_item_ids].nil?
if @rfq.save!
redirect_to URI.escape("/view_handler?index=0&msg=RFQ saved!")
else
flash.now[:error] = "RFQ not saved!"
render 'new'
end
else
redirect_to URI.escape("/view_handler?index=0&msg=No rights!")
end
end
Test case failed after addition of @rfq.report_language = nil unless params[:need_report]
it "should be successful for corp head" do
session[:corp_head] = true
session[:user_id] = 1
s = Factory(:standard)
rfq = Factory.attributes_for(:rfq, :need_report => true, :report_language => 'EN')
rfq[:standard_ids] = [s.id] # attach standard_id's to mimic the POST'ed form data
get 'create', :rfq => rfq
#response.should redirect_to URI.escape("/view_handler?index=0&msg=RFQ saved!")
response.should render_template('new')
end
the problem ist that you are simply not looking at the right value.
get 'create', :rfq => rfq
will result in a params-hash like {:rfq => {...}}
so you need to @rfq.report_language = nil unless params[:rfq][:need_report] == 'true'
