People,
I’m looking at p. 152 in the Rails book where he talks about testing
controllers [ functional tests ].
First he shows a method, test_login_with_valid_user, which tests
that it’s possible to login with a valid user/password combo.
Then, he talks about extracting the code he just wrote and placing it
into a login method inside of test_helper.rb
Once the method is there, he can re-use the login method in later
functional tests
of the LoginController class.
So, the discussion is easy to follow and I understand it.
My question:
Suppose I want to test other controllers besides the LoginController.
How do I make use of login in test_helper.rb to place the user object
in my session object?
Or in other words,
How do I make test_helper.login general enough to be used outside of
LoginController functional tests?
Thanks,
