Hi

Below is my functional test code

def test_should_create_county assert_difference(‘County.count’) do post :create, :county => {:name=>“myname”,:description=>“mydesc”,:region_id=>“3” } end assert_redirected_to county_path(assigns(:county)) end

And error message i got is

  1. Failure: test_should_create_county(CountiesControllerTest) [/test/functional/counties_controller_test.rb:16]: “County.count” didn’t change by 1. <3> expected but was <2>.

Please help

Hi     Can't say what happens only based on this. Anyway please change above to

def test_should_create_county      County.destroy_all      assert_difference('County.count') do        post :create, :county => {:name=>"myname",:description=>"mydesc",:region_id=>"3" }      end      assert_redirected_to county_path(assigns(:county))    end

Hi Sijo

I think you are tired helping me

When i run scaffolding and run functional testing also it provides error message Is there any initial setup for functional testing

I am not able to run the basic functional testing that scaffolding generates

If your controller normally requires users to be logged in then you will need to make it appear that the test requests are coming from a logged in user.

That destroy should not matter. (And assert_latest is much more accurate & useful than assert_difference here.)

     assert_difference('County.count') do        post :create, :county => {:name=>"myname",:description=>"mydesc",:region_id=>"3" }      end      assert_redirected_to county_path(assigns(:county))    end

Most likely you fail validation. If your error flashes to the page, you can put assert_match /something/, flash[:warning], or the equivalent, above the assert_redirect.

Otherwise, change your save to save! and see if you get a crash message.
