7.2 Iteration B2: Unit Testing 6.3 Playtime

7.1 Iteration B1: Validation and Unit Testing

Augment the model with a few vailidity checks.

Various validations: required, numeric, positive, and unique

edit app/models/product.rb
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :description, :image_url, :price, :title
  validates :title, :description, :image_url, presence: true
  validates :price, numericality: {greater_than_or_equal_to: 0.01}
  validates :title, uniqueness: true
  validates :image_url, allow_blank: true, format: {
    with:    %r{\.(gif|jpg|png)\Z}i,
    message: 'must be a URL for GIF, JPG or PNG image.'
  }
end

Demonstrate failures.

get /products/new

New product





Back
post /products

New product

4 errors prohibited this product from being saved:

  • Title can't be blank
  • Description can't be blank
  • Image url can't be blank
  • Price must be greater than or equal to 0.01




Back

Demonstrate more failures.

get /products/new

New product





Back
post /products

New product

1 error prohibited this product from being saved:

  • Price is not a number




Back
edit app/models/product.rb
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :description, :image_url, :price, :title
  validates :title, :description, :image_url, presence: true
  validates :price, numericality: {greater_than_or_equal_to: 0.01}
  validates :title, uniqueness: true
  validates :image_url, allow_blank: true, format: {
    with:    %r{\.(gif|jpg|png)\Z}i,
    message: 'must be a URL for GIF, JPG or PNG image.'
  }
end

Now run the tests... and watch them fail :-(

Solution is simple, provide valid data.

edit test/functional/products_controller_test.rb
require 'test_helper'
 
class ProductsControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  setup do
    @product = products(:one)
    @update = {
      title:       'Lorem Ipsum',
      description: 'Wibbles are fun!',
      image_url:   'lorem.jpg',
      price:       19.95
    }
  end
 
  test "should get index" do
    get :index
    assert_response :success
    assert_not_nil assigns(:products)
  end
 
  test "should get new" do
    get :new
    assert_response :success
  end
 
  test "should create product" do
    assert_difference('Product.count') do
      post :create, product: @update
    end
 
    assert_redirected_to product_path(assigns(:product))
  end
 
  # ...
  test "should update product" do
    put :update, id: @product, product: @update
    assert_redirected_to product_path(assigns(:product))
  end
 
  # ...
end

Tests now pass again :-)
