Hello folks,
I need to write a method that will return a PDF to the user.
Does anyone know of any documentation on how to test
such functionality?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Franz

I haven’t needed to do such a thing so I’m of limited help. I suppose
if you’re doing downloads using rails then you’ve probably looked at the
streaming api:
ActionController::Streaming
The send_data/send_file methods allow you to set the content-type and
other headers etc etc.
So in your functional tests for your download controller, you could
probably do something like
def test_1a
…
get :download , params
assert_equal ‘text/html’,@response.headers[:type]
…
(Obviously replace ‘text/html’).
You can also access other headers eg content-length and the body
(@response.body).
I don’t know if it’s good form to be using @response.
Integration test api is a little different so might be worth checking
too.
