Ruby on rails tests

Question

In controller I have got this:

def output
  if params[:find]
    result
  elsif params[:print_db]
    print_db
  end
end

And the test doesn't want to enter in params[:find] condition.

Test controller:

test "should get 5 5 1 for view with 5 5 1 3 3" do
  get :output, {str: "5 5 1 3 3 5"}, :params => 'find'
  assert_equal assigns[:result], "5, 5, 1"
end

Please, help me!

You need to send a find param, e.g., find: true or something. Put a pry/etc in your controller and actually look at your params. — Dave Newton

It seems like you want to have both: A params[:str] and a params[:find] parameter.

Change:

get :output, {str: "5 5 1 3 3 5"}, :params => 'find'

to:

get :output, str: '5 5 1 3 3 5', find: true

Because your version passes the :params => 'find' part into the session variable not into the params. You might want to read in the Rails' guide about what parameters the get method accepts.

Try this:

get :output, { str: "5 5 1 3 3 5", find: true }

In your request you send only the str with the value "5 5 1 3 3 5" and no find parameter. You have to put all parameters into the first hash.
