What is the actual strategy to test strong params filtering in Rails controller with Rspec? (Except shoulda matchers) How to write failing test and then make it green?
问题:
回答1:
Create 2 hashes with expected and all (with unsatisfied) parameters. Then pass all params to action and check that you object model receiving only expected params. It will not if you are not using strong parameter filters. Than add permissions to params and check test again.
For example, this:
# action
def create
User.create(params)
end
# spec
it 'creates a user' do
expect_any_instance_of(User).to receive(:create).
with({name: 'Sideshow Bob'}.with_indifferent_access)
post :create, user:
{ first_name: 'Sideshow', last_name: 'Bob', name: 'Sideshow Bob' }
end
will pass all params to User and test will fail. And when you filter them:
def user_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name)
end
and change action with User.create(user_params)
, test will pass.

I personally use shoulda-matcher from thoughtbot.
With something like:
it do
should permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password).
for(:update, params: params)
end

Here is how I did it:
describe 'Safe Params' do
let(:mixed_params) {
{
blueprint_application_environment: {
id: 1000,
blueprint_id: 1,
application_id: 2,
environment_id: 3
},
format: :json
}
}
context "when processing a Post request with a mix of permitted and unpermitted parameters" do
before { post :create, mixed_params }
it "a create will not set the value of the unpermitted parameter" do
expect(JSON.parse(response.body)["id"]).not_to eq(1000)
end
it "a create will set the value of the permitted parameters" do
expect(JSON.parse(response.body)["blueprint_id"]).to eq(1)
expect(JSON.parse(response.body)["application_id"]).to eq(2)
expect(JSON.parse(response.body)["environment_id"]).to eq(3)
end
end
end
Controller code:
def create
@blueprint_application_environment = BlueprintApplicationEnvironment.new(blueprint_application_environment_params)
if @blueprint_application_environment.save
render 'show.json.jbuilder'
else
render json: @blueprint_application_environment.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity
end
end
def blueprint_application_environment_params
params.require(:blueprint_application_environment).permit(:blueprint_id, :application_id, :environment_id)
end
回答4:
as like you create or update object using strong parameters,it is also similar except one thing that normal you do like this:
post :create, book_id: @book.id
But in strong parameter you have to do like this:
post :create, {book_id: @book.id, comment: {user_id: 101, book_id: @book.id, description: "worth to buy"}}
you have to pass in nested parameters.
