Unit Macros

• should_accept_nested_attributes_for :foo, :bar

Verifies that accepts_nested_attribtes_for is declared for given attributes.

• should_act_as_taggable_on :category_name

Verifies that acts_as_taggable_on is declared for optionally given category.

• should_be ClassName

Verifies that tested model is_a?(ClassName).

• should_callback :method_name, :after_save

Verifies that given callback (:method_name) is declared for given event (:after_save).

• should_delegate :foo, :bar, :to => :elsewhere, :allow_nil => true

Verifies that delegates is declared for given method to given destination. Also tests :allow_nil functionality introduced in Rails 2.3.3.

• should_validate_associated :foo, :bar

Verifies that validates_associated is declared for given attributes.

• should_deny_values :country => %w(Africa Europe), :zipcode => "fake_code"

Verifies that tested model is invalid when given attributes are assigned corresponding values. As opposed to shoulda's similar method, this implementation doesn't compare error messages, just checks for error presence on attribute.

• should_allow_values :country => %w(England Russia), :zipcode => "55555"

Verifies that tested model is valid when given attributes are assigned corresponding values. As opposed to shoulda's similar method, this implementation doesn't compare error messages, just checks for error presence on attribute.

• should_allow_mass_assignment_of :foo, :bar, :strict => true

Overrides Shoulda's should_allow_mass_assignment_of to add the convenience option :strict => true. When :strict is true every non-listed attribute is explicitly tested for mass assignment protection.

Functional Macros

• should_rest_route :show, :new, :create

Provides shortcut to declaring multiple should_route tests if routes are supposed to be REST-style. If action names are omitted defaults to testing all 7 RESTful actions. Accepts option :singular => true for singular routes such as profile or account controller. Usually guesses controller name, but can be overridden with :controller => "Profile" option.
