Hi
I`m trying to test my controller with rspec and always get an error.
The error is in the render_to_string method call (without it test
works fine). So could u please help me with that?
users_controller.rb:
def update
@user.update_attributes!(params[:user])
redirect_to @user, :status => 202, :text =>
render_to_string(:partial => “users/show”, :type => “json”, :locals =>
{:user => @user})
#notice, that redirect_to was reinitialized and :text is a
parameter for response_body
end
_show.tokamak
user {
id user.id
email user.email
username user.username
}
spec file
it “should NOT update user username” do
username = @user.username
put ‘update’, :id => @user.id, :user => {:username => username
+“abc”}, :format => :json
response.status.should be(202)
response.headers[“Location”].length.should be > 0
puts response.body
@user.reload
@user.username.should eq(username)
end
end
So I get an error:
Failure/Error: put ‘update’, :id => @user.id, :user => {:username =>
username+“abc”}, :format => :json ActionView::Template::Error: You
have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! You might have expected
an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.[] # C:/

So may be I call render_to_string method wrong?
