Functional tests allow you to # test a single controller action per test method. This should not be confused with # integration tests (see ActionController::IntegrationTest), which are more like # "stories" that can involve multiple controllers and mutliple actions (i.e. multiple # different HTTP requests). # # == Basic example # # Functional tests are written as follows: # 1. First, one uses the +get+, +post+, +put+, +delete+ or +head+ method to simulate # an HTTP request. # 2. Then, one asserts whether the current state is as expected. "State" can be anything: # the controller's HTTP response, the database contents, etc. # # For example: # # class BooksControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase # def test_create # # Simulate a POST response with the given HTTP parameters. # post(:create, :book => { :title => "Love Hina" }) # # # Assert that the controller tried to redirect us to # # the created book's URI. # assert_response :found # # # Assert that the controller really put the book in the database. # assert_not_nil Book.find_by_title("Love Hina") # end # end # # == Special instance variables # # ActionController::TestCase will also automatically provide the following instance # variables for use in the tests: # # @controller:: # The controller instance that will be tested. # @request:: # An ActionController::TestRequest, representing the current HTTP # request. You can modify this object before sending the HTTP request. For example, # you might want to set some session properties before sending a GET request. # @response:: # An ActionController::TestResponse object, representing the response # of the last HTTP response. In the above example, @response becomes valid # after calling +post+. If the various assert methods are not sufficient, then you # may use this object to inspect the HTTP response in detail. # # (Earlier versions of Rails required each functional test to subclass # Test::Unit::TestCase and define @controller, @request, @response in +setup+.) # # == Controller is automatically inferred # # ActionController::TestCase will automatically infer the controller under test # from the test class name. If the controller cannot be inferred from the test # class name, you can explicity set it with +tests+. # # class SpecialEdgeCaseWidgetsControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase # tests WidgetController # end class TestCase < ActiveSupport::TestCase # When the request.remote_addr remains the default for testing, which is 0.0.0.0, the exception is simply raised inline # (bystepping the regular exception handling from rescue_action). If the request.remote_addr is anything else, the regular # rescue_action process takes place. This means you can test your rescue_action code by setting remote_addr to something else # than 0.0.0.0. # # The exception is stored in the exception accessor for further inspection. module RaiseActionExceptions attr_accessor :exception def rescue_action_without_handler(e) self.exception = e if request.remote_addr == "0.0.0.0" raise(e) else super(e) end end end setup :setup_controller_request_and_response @@controller_class = nil class << self # Sets the controller class name.
