The following rspec test file
require 'spec_helper'
describe EvaluationsController do
render_views
before(:each) do
association_attr
end
describe "'eval_selektor'" do
before(:each) do
@eval_selektor = get :eval_selektor, student_group_id: @student_group
end
it "should be successful" do
@eval_selektor
response.should be_success
end
...
end
...
end
is throwing the following error:
1) EvaluationsController 'eval_selektor' should be successful
Failure/Error: @eval_selektor = get :eval_selektor, student_group_id: @student_group
NoMethodError:
undefined method `student_groups' for nil:NilClass
# ./app/controllers/application_controller.rb:7:in `get_student_group'
# ./spec/controllers/evaluations_controller_spec.rb:14:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'
from this method in the application_controller:
def get_student_group
@user = current_user
@student_group = @user.student_groups.find(params[:student_group_id])
end
At first I thought maybe rspec just wasn't getting passed the method from application_controller, but that's not the case as it can see it in the error. The code works in the browser, and if I put <%= @user %> in the view, it shows the correct user instance. Any ideas why rspec can't read @user?
