i am trying to learn testing for rails apps.
i followed the two authlogic tutorials (basic authlogic setup and
password reset) and now i am trying to add some integration tests with
cucumber (i know you are supposed to do the tests 1st, but i am just
trying to figure out how things work).
i found this app
http://github.com/hectoregm/rails-templates/tree/master
with a bunch of cucumber/webrat tests setup for authlogic so i started
applying them to my app.
the app works fine when i do everything in the web browser, but i can
not figure out why it doesn’t work with the tests. when it creates a
user account it should go to the show account page and flash “account
registered”, but instead it is creating a user in the database (good),
going to my home page(bad), and the flash is “logout
successful”(bad).
anyone have any guidance on what might be going wrong or how to
troubleshoot this?
from my feature file
Scenario: Allow an anonymous user to create account
Given “hector” is an anonymous user
When I go to the registration form
And I fill in “login” with “hector”
And I fill in “email” with “[email protected]”
And I fill in “password” with “secret”
And I fill in “password confirmation” with “secret”
And I press “Register”
Then I should have a successful registration
the relevent steps
Given /“(.)" is an anonymous user/ do |name| # registration_steps.rb
visit ‘/logout’
visit ‘/’
end
When /^I go to (.+)$/ do |page_name| # webrat_steps.rb
visit path_to(page_name)
end
when /the registration form/ # paths.rb
new_account_path
When /^I fill in "([^"])” with “([^"])"$/ do |field, value| #
webrat_steps.rb
fill_in(field, :with => value)
end
When /^I press "([^"])”$/ do |button| # webrat_steps.rb
click_button(button)
end
Then /^I should have a successful registration$/ do #
registration_steps.rb
When ‘I should see “Account registered!”’
end
Then /^I should see “([^"]*)”$/ do |text| # webrat_steps.rb
response.should contain(text)
end
output from running “cucumber features”
