Question

Updating, showing, and deleting users, exercises

Is there a way to create an Rspec test for User controller actions such as “create” and “new?”

I’m not quite clear on the difference between the two actions “create” and “new” themselves either; could someone please be so kind as to elaborate?

After creating the test how would I go about implementing the redirect_to root_path? I think I am supposed to include the “new” and “create” actions in the before_filter signed_in section but this doesn’t automatically redirect to the root.

I tried to get the tests to pass by modifying the users_controller.rb file as follows:

  def create
    if signed_in?
      redirect_to root_path
    else
      @user = User.new(params[:user])
      if @user.save
        sign_in @user
        flash[:success] = "Welcome to the Sample App!"
        redirect_to @user
      else
        render 'new'
      end
    end
  end

1. Yes; and this is partially begun around 7.16 and elsewhere.
2. One actually creates a user (create). One is for the page for creating a new user (new).
3. Not sure I understand the question.
