Shouldn’t the second spec fail? I’m trying to provide a default value in
the
model (I’m well aware this is normally the job of the controller, but it
seems right to be the model in this case). Also, after_initialize
doesn’t
seem to be the right way of doing this, but before_create or any of the
other things don’t make the first test pass.
specify “should provide a default name when none is given” do
@emailer.attributes = valid_emailer_attributes.except(:name)
@emailer.name.should_not_be_nil
@emailer.should_be_valid
end
specify “should not replace name if one is given” do
@emailer.attributes = valid_emailer_attributes # valid name attribute
is
“bill”
(@emailer.name==“bill”).should_be_true
end
class Emailer < ActiveRecord::Base
def after_initialize
self.name = “joe”
end
end
I know how to code what I’m trying to do, but I want to make sure I only
do
the minimum to make the specs pass, in proper TDD/BDD style.
