Okay, I'm finally asking for help

Testing RSpec
1

Hi, all!

I would love if someone could help me figure this out. I can’t seem to
see
why the following fails:

Here’s the spec:
it “should redirect back to the index page” do
Coupon.should_receive
(:new).with({“name”=>@expectedName,“amount”=>@expectedAmount}).and_return(@coupon)
@coupon.should_receive(:save)
response.should redirect_to(:action => ‘index’)
post
‘save_coupon’,{:coupon=>{:name=>@expectedName,:amount=>@expectedAmount}}
end

(the @vars are all set up)

Here’s the method:
def save_coupon
@coupon = Coupon.new(params[:coupon])
@coupon.save
redirect_to :action => :index
end

Now, I’ve tried it through the browser, and it works. Any thoughts?

I appreciate it.

What’s the failure message?

Did your spec failed?
Would you paste it?

I think you need to check the response after the post, not before.
