While converting from RSpec to Minitest I ran into a slight issue that Google has not helped with one bit, and that's figuring out how to do something like this:
describe ApplicationController do
controller do
def index
render nothing: true
end
end
it "should catch bad slugs" do
get :index, slug: "bad%20slug"
response.code.should eq("403")
end
end
with Minitest. Is there a way to create anonymous controllers like this inside of Minitest or is there documentation that could help me learn how to test controllers with minitest?
I don't think anonymous controllers are supported. Instead of using a DSL to create a controller, try defining a controller in your test.
class SlugTestController < ApplicationController
def index
render nothing: true
end
end
describe SlugTestController do
it "should catch bad slugs" do
get :index, slug: "bad%20slug"
response.code.must_equal "403"
end
end
You can do something like that:
# Add at runtime an action to ApplicationController
ApplicationController.class_eval do
def any_action
render :nothing
end
end
# If disable_clear_and_finalize is set to true, Rails will not clear other routes when calling again the draw method. Look at the source code at: http://apidock.com/rails/v4.0.2/ActionDispatch/Routing/RouteSet/draw
Rails.application.routes.disable_clear_and_finalize = true
# Create a new route for our new action
Rails.application.routes.draw do
get 'any_action' => 'application#any_action'
end
# Test
class ApplicationControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
should 'do something' do
get :any_action
assert 'something'
end
end
