= rspec_validation_expectations
Adds several handy expectations for testing ActiveRecord model validations and associations.
== Dependencies
Requires the validation_reflection plugin:
script/plugin install git://github.com/redinger/validation_reflection.git
== Installation
Install the gem directly:
sudo gem install pelargir-rspec_validation_expectations --source=http://gems.github.com
Or install the gem in your Rails project:
script/plugin install git://github.com/pelargir/rspec_validation_expectations.git
Or clone the project:
git clone git://github.com/pelargir/rspec_validation_expectations.git
== Usage
Ensure that validations and assocations are properly defined in your models:
describe User do
it_should_validate_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email
it_should_validate_numericality_of :zip
it_should_validate_uniqueness_of :email
it_should_validate_inclusion_of :gender, :in => %w(Male Female)
# tests that User.count increases by 1
it_should_be_createable :with => {:first_name => 'Ed', :last_name => 'The Duck', :email => 'a@b.com'}
it_should_belong_to :employer
it_should_have_many :friends, :romans, :countrymen
it_should_have_one :account
it_should_have_and_belong_to_many :comments
# tests that the attribute is protected
it_should_protect :email
end
Which gives you:
ruby script/spec --format s spec/models/user_spec.rb:
User
- should validate presence of first name
- should validate presence of last name
- should validate presence of email
- should validate numericality of zip
- should validate uniqueness of email
- should validate inclusion of gender as one of Male or Female
- should be creatable
- should belong to employer
- should have many friends
- should have many romans
- should have many countrymen
- should have one account
- should have and belong to many comments
- should protect email
