Instance Method Details

#be_a_new(model_class) ⇒ Object

Passes if actual is an instance of model_class and returns true for new_record?. Typically used to specify instance variables assigned to views by controller actions

Use the with method to specify the specific attributes to match on the new record.

Examples:

get :new
assigns(:thing).should be_a_new(Thing)
post :create, :thing => { :name => "Illegal Value" }
assigns(:thing).should be_a_new(Thing).with(:name => nil)

# File 'lib/rspec/rails/matchers/be_a_new.rb', line 78
def be_a_new(model_class)
  BeANew.new(model_class)
end

#be_new_record ⇒ Object

Passes if actual returns true for new_record?.

Examples:

get :new
expect(assigns(:thing)).to be_new_record

# File 'lib/rspec/rails/matchers/be_new_record.rb', line 25
def be_new_record
  BeANewRecord.new
end

#be_valid(*args) ⇒ Object

Passes if the given model instance's valid? method is true, meaning all of the ActiveModel::Validations passed and no errors exist. If a message is not given, a default message is shown listing each error.

Examples:

thing = Thing.new
expect(thing).to be_valid
44

# File 'lib/rspec/rails/matchers/be_valid.rb', line 44
def be_valid(*args)
  BeValid.new(*args)
end

#have_been_enqueued ⇒ Object

Passes if a job has been enqueued. May chain at_least, at_most or exactly to specify a number of times.

Examples:

before { ActiveJob::Base.queue_adapter.enqueued_jobs.clear }
HeavyLiftingJob.perform_later
expect(HeavyLiftingJob).to have_been_enqueued
HelloJob.perform_later
HeavyLiftingJob.perform_later

HelloJob.perform_later
expect(HelloJob).to enqueue_job(HelloJob).at_most(:twice)
HelloJob.perform_later

#have_http_status(target) ⇒ Object

Passes if response has a matching HTTP status code.
