We are using Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial as an inspiration to build a completely different RoR app.
However, we stumbled upon an issue that may be of help to other people following the tutorial.
Here is our user_index_test.rb file:
test "index as admin including pagination and delete links" do
log_in_as(@admin)
get users_path
assert_select 'div.pagination'
first_page_of_users = User.paginate(page: 1)
first_page_of_users.each do |user|
assert_select 'a[href=?]', user_path(user), text: user.first_name + " " + user.first_name
unless user == @admin
assert_select 'a[href=?]', user_path(user), text: 'delete'
end
end
assert_difference 'User.count', -1 do
delete user_path(@non_admin)
end
end
Here is our index.html.erb file:
<h1>All users</h1>
<div class="row">
<div class="pagination col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<%= will_paginate %>
<ul class="users">
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<%= render user %>
<% end %>
</ul>
<%= will_paginate %>
</div>
</div>
Which renders the following HTML in the browser:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<div class="pagination"><ul class="pagination"><li class="prev previous_page disabled"><a href="#">← Previous</a></li> <li class="active"><a rel="start" href="/users?page=1">1</a></li> <li><a rel="next" href="/users?page=2">2</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=3">3</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=4">4</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=5">5</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=6">6</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=7">7</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=8">8</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=9">9</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=10">10</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=11">11</a></li> <li class="next next_page "><a rel="next" href="/users?page=2">Next →</a></li></ul></div>
<ul class="users">

</ul>
<div class="pagination"><ul class="pagination"><li class="prev previous_page disabled"><a href="#">← Previous</a></li> <li class="active"><a rel="start" href="/users?page=1">1</a></li> <li><a rel="next" href="/users?page=2">2</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=3">3</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=4">4</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=5">5</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=6">6</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=7">7</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=8">8</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=9">9</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=10">10</a></li> <li><a href="/users?page=11">11</a></li> <li class="next next_page "><a rel="next" href="/users?page=2">Next →</a></li></ul></div>
</div>
</div>
Yet, here is the result of the integration test:
FAIL["test_index_as_admin_including_pagination_and_delete_links", UsersIndexTest, 2015-06-30 06:44:20 -0700]
test_index_as_admin_including_pagination_and_delete_links#UsersIndexTest (1435671860.33s)
Expected at least 1 element matching "div.pagination", found 0..
Expected 0 to be >= 1.
test/integration/users_index_test.rb:23:in `block in <class:UsersIndexTest>'
Any idea of what is wrong?
UPDATE: following @steve klein advice (from the comments), we updated our users_index_test.rb file:
test "index as admin including pagination and delete links" do
log_in_as(@admin)
get users_path
assert_template 'users/index'
assert_select 'div.pagination'
first_page_of_users = User.paginate(page: 1)
first_page_of_users.each do |user|
assert_select 'a[href=?]', user_path(user), text: user.first_name + " " + user.first_name
unless user == @admin
assert_select 'a[href=?]', user_path(user), text: 'delete'
end
end
assert_difference 'User.count', -1 do
delete user_path(@non_admin)
end
end
Here is the resulting, failing test:
FAIL["test_index_as_admin_including_pagination_and_delete_links", UsersIndexTest, 2015-06-30 06:44:19 -0700]
test_index_as_admin_including_pagination_and_delete_links#UsersIndexTest (1435671859.86s)
expecting <"users/index"> but rendering with <[]>
test/integration/users_index_test.rb:23:in `block in <class:UsersIndexTest>'
I also got this failed test message and found out that I made a funny mistake: I forgot to change fake user's name "michael" to my own test name in ../test/fixtures/microposts.yml.
SO I DIDN'T GENERATE ENOUGH FAKE MICROPOSTS
If you always change variable name just like me, please check it you generate enough microposts for test. Make sure your value of @admin in user_index_test.rb is equal to user: your_admin_user_name in microposts.yml.
Hope this help =)
