Forum: Rails I18n Functional testing

Hi there,
I'm implementing the Globalize plugin on my application, and so far it's
working quite well.
One problem I'm having is that I can't do any functional tests.
It appears as though the locale is not set for the tests, and an error 
is
thrown by the find_every function where it tries to get the language 
code.
This problem is not seen outside of testing.

is this common? Can anyone else reproduce it? Is there a fix?
I'm using Rails 1.1 and the 1.1 branch of Globalize.

Also the include_translated option for the find method doesn't appear to 
work.
Is there some trick to use it? It always throws an invalid option error.

Regards,
Bonne Eggeleston.

I am having about the same issue. I'm using Globalize with a switch in 
the url like ":locale/:controller/..." and it breaks functional tests, 
spitting out "No url can be generated for the hash"-routing errors. I've 
tried to get around this by setting up a redirect. This would even come 
in handy for other reasons. What I tried to achieve is that urls without 
the locale like "www.url.com/mycontroller/" would get redirected to 
"www.url.com/en/mycontroller/", with "en" here being the default locale. 
Does anyone know how to get this done?

Greetings
Patrick

Having the same problem. I've had to comment out all my functional tests 
for the moment because of locale not being set. Anyone know of a 
solution?

I'm experiencing the same problem, but since I've just started learning 
Rails, I can't seem to fix it. Does anyone have a solution yet?

try this:

Loading test environment.

 >> Locale.set_base_language Language.pick('en')
=> English
 >> Locale.base_language

Odd, i get an error when i try that:

Loading test environment.
>> Locale
=> Globalize::Locale
>> Locale.set_base_language Language.pick('en')
ArgumentError: bad format for , not rfc-3066 compliant
        from

`set_base_language'
        from (irb):2

(rails 1.1.6.5618)

When I use Locale.set_base_language Language.pick('en') function I get:

/vendor/plugins/globalize/lib/globalize/localization/rfc_3066.rb:6:in 
`parse': bad format for , not rfc-3066 compliant (ArgumentError)

So same error as Bitbutter. I'm using Rails 1.1.6 on Windows

I managed to get rid of the 'base_language' not set error by having the 
following code in my ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  model :cart
  model :line_item

  before_filter :set_locale
  after_filter :set_charset

  def set_locale
    if !params[:locale].nil? && LOCALES.keys.include?(params[:locale])
      Locale.set LOCALES[params[:locale]]
    else
      if Locale.base_language
        redirect_to params.merge( 'locale' => Locale.base_language.code 
)
      else
        redirect_to params.merge( 'locale' => 'en' )
      end
      return true
    end
  end

...
end

But now I get:

Exception: Render and/or redirect were called multiple times in this 
action. Please note that you may only call render OR redirect, and only 
once per action. Also note that neither redirect nor render terminate 
execution of the action, so if you want to exit an action after 
redirecting, you need to do something like "redirect_to(...) and 
return". Finally, note that to cause a before filter to halt execution 
of the rest of the filter chain, the filter must return false, 
explicitly, so "render(...) and return false".

(KJ Wierenga: i initially tried a set up like the one you posted but 
also ran into similar recursion difficulties. If you like you can mail 
me at kj.1.cbit AT spamgourmet.com and i'll send you some examples of 
the sessions based approach i'm using now)

Perhaps you meant to return false in a filter chain after a redirect?

FYI: be careful with the set_charset action:
