Unit Tests Behavior

Rails
1

Hi,

Working on unit tests and I have a few cascade delete constraints I am
testing.

The unit tests stop at the first assert_raise test. Is this typical?

def test_destroy_all_cascade_delete

assert_equal 1, Iep.find(:first).client_id

assert_equal 1, Encounter.find(:first).client_id

@client.destroy

assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) { Iep.find(1) }    <--

Stops
testing here

assert_raise(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) { Encounter.find(1) }

end

So if I comment out the client.destroy call, the first assert_raise
fails
and the unit test doesn’t try the next one.

Thanks

Test::Unit stops at the first failed assertion.

Rather than writing large tests testing every code path, create a
test method per code path. It lets you find failures easier.
(Multiple failures in one suite run rather than multiple suite runs
fixing as you go, less time context switching between editing and
running.)

If you have code common to multiple tests refactor them into methods.

If you have code common to multiple test cases refactor them into an
abstract test class.
