I'm trying to test my controller in rSpec and get the following error:
1) ClientsController POST create with valid params creates a new Client
←[31mFailure/Error:←[0m ←[31mpost :create, {:client => valid_attributes}←[0
m
←[31mActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError←[0m:
←[31mActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError←[0m
←[36m # ./app/controllers/clients_controller.rb:27:in `create'←[0m
I assume it has something to do with the strong parameters. But I have no idea how to set the strong parameters in my rspec test controller (Because it's all describes instead of methods(def))
I am using let(:valid_attributes) { FactoryGirl.build(:client).attributes } however.
Is the forbiddenattributeserror something from the strong parameters? If so; How do I set my strong parameters in my controller. If not; What does cause this problem?
Here's the Factory I'm using with my :valid_attributes:
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :client do
name { 'Willem' }
birthdate { '1990-10-10' }
background { '#ff0000'}
end
end
One of the failures is:
1) ClientsController PUT update with valid params updates the requested client
←[31mFailure/Error:←[0m ←[31mput :update, {:id => client.to_param, :client
=> valid_attributes}←[0m
←[31m#<Client:0x6c8e140> received :update with unexpected arguments←[0m
←[31m expected: ({"id"=>nil, "name"=>"Willem", "avatar"=>nil, "birthdate
"=>Wed, 10 Oct 1990, "background"=>"#ff0000", "group_id"=>nil, "created_at"=>nil
, "updated_at"=>nil})←[0m
←[31m got: ({"name"=>"Willem", "avatar"=>nil, "birthdate"=>"1990-10
-10", "background"=>"#ff0000", "group_id"=>nil})←[0m
←[36m # ./app/controllers/clients_controller.rb:44:in `block in update'←[0m

The description leads to:
it "updates the requested client" do
client = Client.create! valid_attributes
Client.any_instance.should_receive(:update).with(valid_attributes)
put :update, {:id => client.to_param, :client => valid_attributes}
end
