Instance Method Details

#assert_redirected_to(options = {}, message = nil) ⇒ Object

Assert that the redirection options passed in match those of the redirect called in the latest action. This match can be partial, such that assert_redirected_to(:controller => “weblog”) will also match the redirection of redirect_to(:controller => “weblog”, :action => “show”) and so on.

Examples

# assert that the redirection was to the "index" action on the WeblogController
assert_redirected_to :controller => "weblog", :action => "index"

# assert that the redirection was to the named route login_url
assert_redirected_to 

# assert that the redirection was to the url for @customer
assert_redirected_to @customer

def assert_redirected_to(options = {}, message=nil)
  clean_backtrace do
    assert_response(:redirect, message)
    return true if options == @response.redirected_to
    
    # Support partial arguments for hash redirections
    if options.is_a?(Hash) && @response.redirected_to.is_a?(Hash)
      return true if options.all? {|(key, value)| @response.redirected_to[key] == value}

    redirected_to_after_normalisation = normalize_argument_to_redirection(@response.redirected_to)
    options_after_normalisation       = normalize_argument_to_redirection(options)

    if redirected_to_after_normalisation != options_after_normalisation
      flunk "Expected response to be a redirect to <#{options_after_normalisation}> but was a redirect to <#{redirected_to_after_normalisation}>"
    end
  end
end

#assert_response(type, message = nil) ⇒ Object

Asserts that the response is one of the following types:

  • :success - Status code was 200

  • :redirect - Status code was in the 300-399 range

  • :missing - Status code was 404

  • :error - Status code was in the 500-599 range

You can also pass an explicit status number like assert_response(501) or its symbolic equivalent assert_response(:not_implemented). See ActionController::StatusCodes for a full list.

Examples

# assert that the response was a redirection
assert_response :redirect 

# assert that the response code was status code 401 (unauthorized)
assert_response 401

  end
end

#assert_template(expected = nil, message = nil) ⇒ Object

Asserts that the request was rendered with the appropriate template file.

Examples

# assert that the "new" view template was rendered
assert_template "new"
