1) Right now this is just testing a successful response. However, since I've gone and created a Post via FactoryGirl... how can I test the @post.id equals one of the id's being returned by the get: index json?
describe Api::V1::PostsController do
context 'Post' do before(:each) do @post = FactoryGirl.create(:post) end
context '#index' do it "should have a successful response on get index" do get :index, format: :json response.should be_success end end
EDIT:
2) How can I use "post :create" when my route is nested.
For example... this works great as an rspec controller post :create with a top level resource, such as post
it "should get a success response on post create" do post :create, params response.should be_success end
however, for a nested resource like 'comment' which is nested under post... the above would throw the following...
Failure/Error: post :create, params ActionController::UrlGenerationError: No route matches
and if I tried
it "should get a success response on post create" do post :create, post_id: @post.id, params #@post is defined and created above response.should be_success end
I get this odd error...
syntax error, unexpected '\n', expecting => (SyntaxError)
