Controller specs
A simple passing example
Given a file named “spec/controllers/widgetscontrollerspec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe WidgetsController, type: :controller do
describe "GET index" do
it "has a 200 status code" do
get :index
expect(response.status).to eq(200)
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec
Then the example should pass.
A controller is exposed to global before hooks
Given a file named “spec/controllers/widgetscontrollerspec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.configure {|c| c.before { expect(controller).not_to be_nil }}
RSpec.describe WidgetsController, type: :controller do
describe "GET index" do
it "doesn't matter" do
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec
Then the example should pass.
Setting a different content type for example json (request type)
Given a file named “spec/controllers/widgetscontrollerspec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe WidgetsController, type: :controller do
describe "responds to" do
it "responds to html by default" do
post :create, :params => { :widget => { :name => "Any Name" } }
expect(response.content_type).to eq "text/html; charset=utf-8"
end
it "responds to custom formats when provided in the params" do
post :create, :params => { :widget => { :name => "Any Name" }, :format => :json }
expect(response.content_type).to eq "application/json; charset=utf-8"
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec
Then the example should pass.
Setting a different media type for example json (request type)
Given a file named “spec/controllers/widgetscontrollerspec.rb” with:
require "rails_helper"
RSpec.describe WidgetsController, type: :controller do
describe "responds to" do
it "responds to html by default" do
post :create, :params => { :widget => { :name => "Any Name" } }
expect(response.media_type).to eq "text/html"
end
it "responds to custom formats when provided in the params" do
post :create, :params => { :widget => { :name => "Any Name" }, :format => :json }
expect(response.media_type).to eq "application/json"
end
end
end
When I run rspec spec
Then the example should pass.
