Testing User Agent

Testing RSpec
1

hi

i’m testing some lib i’ve made for detecting mobile user agent, I
confused
how to test the lib i’ve made.
the test code is


  describe "Check if mobile browser" do
    it "should know if it's from blackberry" do
      blackberry_ua = "BlackBerry8330/4.3.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0
Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/105"
      request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] = blackberry_ua
      is_mobile?.should == true
    end
  end

the error is, request variable always nil

the question : how i mock the request.env ?

Since you’re trying to test existing code, can you please post that
code?

        end
      end
      return false

Hi Suprie. AFAIK, RSpec populates the “request” object in your specs
after a controller action is called. Since your “should know if it’s
from blackberry” example doesn’t call a controller action, the
“request” object is nil.

Thanks - so I’m wondering where is_mobile? came from. Also, are you
trying to do this in a controller spec or a helper spec? Where is the
spec file located?

i’ve refactoring the is_mobile? to mobile_content? i’m trying to spec a
lib, so i put it on spec/lib

Off topic, but this could be a one liner with no temporary variables,
and load_file will take care of opening and reading the file for you:

def load_mobile_agent_file
YAML.load_file(RAILS_ROOT+“/config/mobile.yml”)
end

  return false
end

end
end

Ultimately, you should be speccing your application’s behaviour rather
than specific methods. If a controller action calls #mobile_content? ,
then write specs for that action, and make sure to cover the case(s)
when #mobile_content? is called.
