IM very new to rspec testing and need alittle bit of help.
Im testing a controller for my timesheet and im trying to test this piece of code.
if params[:user_id] == nil
if current_user == nil
redirect_to new_user_session_path
else
@user_id = current_user.id
end
else
@user_id = params[:user_id]
end
im not sure if its even worth testing but it seems theres a lack of tutorials for the beginner out there, so i wouldnt know. thanks in advance
You can do this in rspec using describe statements and before(:each) to setup each scenario and test it
describe "test the controller" do
before(:each) do
@user = Factory(:user)
end
describe "for non signed in users" do
it "should redirect to sign in page" do
get :action
response.should redirect_to(new_user_session_path)
end
end
describe "for signed in users" do
before(:each) do
sign_in(@user)
end
it "should be successful" do
get :action
response.should be_success
end
end
end
Just use different describe statements and setup each test with before(:each) and you should be fine.
