I am relatively new to Ruby and rails and am stuck on a issue

  • 0

I am relatively new to Ruby and rails and am stuck on a issue I cannot get my head around. I have two models PricingRuleType and PricingRule that are set up as shown below.

class PricingRuleType < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :type_of_rule
  has_and_belongs_to_many :product_rules
  validates :type_of_rule, :presence => true
end

class ProductRule < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_many :pricing_rule_types
  validates :pricing_rule_type, :discount_per_unit, :number_of_units, :presence => true
  validates :discount_per_unit, :numericality => {:greater_than_or_equal_to => 0.01}
end

The functional test for the create and update methods are shown below:

1) Error:

    /Users/kushaldsouza/Documents/Client Projects/Revoo/test/functional/product_rules_controller_test.rb:44:in `block in <class:ProductRulesControllerTest>'

My test controllers are shown below:

require 'test_helper'

class ProductRulesControllerTest < ActionController::TestCase
  fixtures :product_rules
  setup do
    @product_rule = product_rules(:one)
    @update = {
      :number_of_units => 3, 
      :discount_per_unit => 2.3,
      :pricing_rule_type => pricing_rule_types(:revoo_pricing_rule)
    }
  end

  test "should get index" do
    get :index
    assert_response :success
    assert_not_nil assigns(:product_rules)
  end

  test "should get new" do
    get :new
    assert_response :success
  end

  test "should create product_rule" do
    assert_difference('ProductRule.count') do
      post :create, :product_rule => :revoo_rule
    end

    assert_redirected_to product_rule_path(assigns(:product_rule))
  end

  test "should show product_rule" do
    get :show, id: @product_rule
    assert_response :success
  end

  test "should get edit" do
    get :edit, id: @product_rule
    assert_response :success
  end

  test "should update product_rule" do
    put :update, id: @product_rule.to_param, :product_rule => @update
    assert_redirected_to product_rule_path(assigns(:product_rule))
  end

  test "should destroy product_rule" do
    assert_difference('ProductRule.count', -1) do
      delete :destroy, id: @product_rule
    end

    assert_redirected_to product_rules_path
  end
end

I am not entirely sure why am I am getting that error and have been stuck on it for a while. Could this for any reason be due to the fact that I have included a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship. I have other models that are set up in a similar way to the above two but without this relationship and they don’t seem to throw any errors.Any help is much appreciated.

    In test “should create product_rule” what is :revoo_rule ?
    Should it be:

    post :create, :product_rule => @product_rule.to_param
    

    And in test “should update product_rule” you have :product_rule => @update
    In setup it should be defined as:

    :pricing_rule_type_ids => pricing_rule_types(:revoo_pricing_rule).id
