Hi there !
I was wondering if the way I test the validation of my forms is right or
not. So here’s a little example :
Imagine you have a form with some validations designed to create some
object. You want to test it using Scenario Outline and Examples. So you
fill in the fields using , and press the create button. Then you
“should see” (using webrat) the telling you
- that the object has been well created
- that some field isn’t well filled
And after that, in the objects list, you “should see” the created object
in the list
Assuming that the object has been created, you will see it in the list
BUT if it has NOT been created, you won’t. And, in my case, it will end
in an error
So my questions are :
- Is it possible, using some trick, to use some conditions inside the
.feature file ?
- Do you think it’s a good use of Scenario Outline ? Or you think I
should have split it into 2 different scenarios (1 with working stuff, 1
with validation errors)
I hope I’m clear. If I’m not, here’s an example code of what I’m talking
about :Scenario Outline: Create a VAT
Given I am logged in as a SuperAdmin user
When I go to the VATs page
And I follow “New VAT”
And I fill in “vat_caption” with “”
And I fill in “vat_value” with “”
And I press “Créer”
Then I should see “”
And the VAT “” should be present in the VAT list
<==================== What it’s all about, works if VAT added, but
shouldn’t be interpreted if VAT not added
Examples:
| caption | value | message |
| Normal | 19.6 | VAT Normal well created |
| | 19.6 | You are supposed to fill the caption field |
| Normal | | You are supposed to fill the VAT field |
| Normal | test | You are supposed to fill the VAT field with a
numeric value |
Sorry about bad formating, I pasted it and haven’t checked …
Well, you may have understood that the “<====” thing is pointing to the
‘And the VAT “” …’ line, the 1st col of 2nd line in the
examples is a blank one, and the last line is cut into 2
Aheeeem … Please someone delete this post, I didn’t see my post is
already present on the topic list, coming from the rubyforge rspec
mailing list I guess.
My apologies anyway …

Sorry, I’m a little lost here. Was this supposed to be a reply to an
existing thread? Which one? Please use your email program’s reply

This is not a reply to an existing thread, but a mistakenly reposted

My apologies again.

I think Scenario Outline is appropriate here. Take a look at RailsCast

In the examples, make the caption something like “impossible”. Then in
the
last step, don’t bother looking in the list if the caption has that
value.
Perhaps even make sure the list is empty under those conditions.
