Pattern: Use of ActionController::TestCase

Issue: -

Description

Using ActionController::TestCase is discouraged and should be replaced by ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest. Controller tests are too close to the internals of a controller whereas integration tests mimic the browser/user.

Examples

# bad
class MyControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
end

# good
class MyControllerTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
end
