I'm using rspec and Factory Girl for testing. When testing the POST #create section of my posts_controller I'm getting the error in the title.
Failures:
1) PostsController POST #create with valid attributes redirects to the post
Failure/Error: response.should redirect_to Post.last
Expected response to be a <redirect>, but was <200>
# ./spec/controllers/posts_controller_spec.rb:59:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>'
This is the code from the spec being tested. I'm sure it's not the most efficient way of doing this, but it does work.
def create
@post = Post.new(
:text => post_params[:text],
:embed => post_params[:embed],
:user => current_user,
:title => post_params[:title],
:tag_list => post_params[:tag_list],
:cagegory_ids => post_params[:category_ids]
)
if @post.save
redirect_to @post
else
render 'new'
end
end
...
private
def post_params
params.require(:post).permit(:title, :text, :embed, :user_id, :tag_list,
:category_ids => [])
end
Here's the factory.
FactoryGirl.define do
factory :post do
title { Faker::Lorem.characters(char_count = 20) }
text { Faker::Lorem.characters(char_count = 150) }
user
categories {
Array(5..10).sample.times.map do
FactoryGirl.create(:category)
end
}
end
end
And the relevant part of the spec
describe "POST #create" do
context "with valid attributes" do
it "saves the new post" do
expect{
post :create, post: FactoryGirl.create(:post).attributes
}.to change(Post,:count).by(1)
end
it "redirects to the post" do
post :create, post: FactoryGirl.create(:post).attributes
response.should redirect_to Post.last
end
end
end
The other test, "saves the new post," works fine. I've tried other variations of the redirect_to line, such as "redirect_to(posts_path(assigns[:post])) and it throws the same error.
Any ideas?
