Hi.
My issue is similar to the one in this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/rspec/browse_thread/thread/973d770e45bdd6cd/8ba067476003f08f?lnk=gst&q=render+controller+should_receive#8ba067476003f08f
(which, btw, I could not reply to…only option was “Reply to Author”)
where I have a RESTful controller. I want create to redirect/render
the new action if the model fails to save with the supplied form
values. Pretty basic and typical stuff.
In Rails, if I use
redirect_to(new_my_model_path)
then the entered values along with the error_messages on the object
are lost and I can’t re-fill the form or list the errors. If I use
render :action => “new”
then I keep all the request data and can use it to fill in form, etc.
In my spec, if I use
controller.should_receive(:render).with({:action=>“new”})
I get an expectation error that render is never called. This is true
if I remove the .with() as well.
If y’all could let me know either 1) Why my redirect_to vs render
argument is flawed and/or 2) What I am doing wrong in the spec, I’d
appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ruprict
