[RSpec] Cannot save or be_valid when using xss_terminate

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I have a Rails app that uses xss_terminate to sanitize the user input
before it gets saved to the DB. In my specs when I call @product.should
be_valid or @product.save, I get the following error message:

NoMethodError in ‘Creating a product with all necessary attributes
should be valid’
undefined method `empty?’ for Mon Feb 02 16:59:00 +0100 2009:Time

The other error messages are related to xss_terminate source code. Has
anyone had any trouble in specing models that are sanitized by
xss_terminate?

Best regards,

I rspec models that use xss_terminate with no problem. I have not see
the error you’re getting.

Thanks. Knowing that it is possible to spec models that use
xss_terminate I was able to figure out that in one of my attributes I
was passing a Time object, so simply converting it to a string with to_s
fixed the issue.
