Overview

This class provides a TestCase for testing generators. To setup, you need just to configure the destination and set which generator is being tested:

class AppGeneratorTest < Rails::Generators::TestCase
  tests AppGenerator
  destination File.expand_path("../tmp", File.dirname(__FILE__))
end

If you want to ensure your destination root is clean before running each test, you can set a setup callback:

class AppGeneratorTest < Rails::Generators::TestCase
  tests AppGenerator
  destination File.expand_path("../tmp", File.dirname(__FILE__))
  setup :prepare_destination
end

Instance Method Details

#assert_class_method(method, content, &block) ⇒ Object

Asserts the given class method exists in the given content. This method does not detect class methods inside (class << self), only class methods which starts with “self.”. When a block is given, it yields the content of the method.

assert_migration "db/migrate/create_products.rb" do |migration|
  assert_class_method :up, migration do |up|
    assert_match(/create_table/, up)
  end
end

# File 'railties/lib/rails/generators/test_case.rb', line 155

def assert_class_method(method, content, &block)
  assert_instance_method "self.#{method}", content, &block
end

#assert_field_default_value(attribute_type, value) ⇒ Object

Asserts the given attribute type gets a proper default value:

assert_field_default_value :string, "MyString"



187
188
189
 
# File 'railties/lib/rails/generators/test_case.rb', line 187

def assert_field_default_value(attribute_type, value)
  assert_equal(value, create_generated_attribute(attribute_type).default)
end

#assert_field_type(attribute_type, field_type) ⇒ Object

Asserts the given attribute type gets translated to a field type properly:

assert_field_type :date, :date_select



179
180
181
 
# File 'railties/lib/rails/generators/test_case.rb', line 179

def assert_field_type(attribute_type, field_type)
  assert_equal(field_type, create_generated_attribute(attribute_type).field_type)
end

#assert_file(relative, *contents) {|read| ... } ⇒ Object Also known as: assert_directory

Asserts a given file exists. You need to supply an absolute path or a path relative to the configured destination:

assert_file "config/environment.rb"

You can also give extra arguments. If the argument is a regexp, it will check if the regular expression matches the given file content. If it’s a string, it compares the file with the given string:

assert_file "config/environment.rb", /initialize/

Finally, when a block is given, it yields the file content:

assert_file "app/controller/products_controller.rb" do |controller|
  assert_instance_method :index, content do |index|
    assert_match(/Product\.all/, index)
  end
end

Yields:

  • (read)

def assert_file(relative, *contents)
  absolute = File.expand_path(relative, destination_root)
  assert File.exists?(absolute), "Expected file #{relative.inspect} to exist, but does not"

  read = File.read(absolute) if block_given? || !contents.empty?
  yield read if block_given?

  contents.each do |content|
    case content
      when String
        assert_equal content, read
      when Regexp
        assert_match content, read
    end
  end
end

#assert_instance_method(method, content) {|$2.strip| ... } ⇒ Object Also known as: assert_method

Asserts the given method exists in the given content. When a block is given, it yields the content of the method.

assert_file "app/controller/products_controller.rb" do |controller|
  assert_instance_method :index, content do |index|
    assert_match(/Product\.all/, index)
  end
end

Yields:

  • ($2.strip)

def assert_instance_method(method, content)
  assert content =~ /def #{method}(\(.+\))?(.*?)\n  end/m, "Expected to have method #{method}"
  yield $2.strip if block_given?
end

#assert_migration(relative, *contents, &block) ⇒ Object

Asserts a given migration exists. You need to supply an absolute path or a path relative to the configured destination:

assert_migration "db/migrate/create_products.rb"

This method manipulates the given path and tries to find any migration which matches the migration name. For example, the call above is converted to:

assert_file "db/migrate/003_create_products.rb"

Consequently, assert_migration accepts the same arguments has assert_file.

  assert file_name, "Expected migration #{relative} to exist, but was not found"
  assert_file file_name, *contents, &block
end

#assert_no_file(relative) ⇒ Object Also known as: assert_no_directory

Asserts a given file does not exist. You need to supply an absolute path or a path relative to the configured destination:

assert_no_file "config/random.rb"

  assert !File.exists?(absolute), "Expected file #{relative.inspect} to not exist, but does"
end

#assert_no_migration(relative) ⇒ Object

Asserts a given migration does not exist. You need to supply an absolute path or a path relative to the configured destination:

assert_no_migration "db/migrate/create_products.rb"

  assert_nil file_name, "Expected migration #{relative} to not exist, but found #{file_name}"
end

#create_generated_attribute(attribute_type, name = 'test', index = nil) ⇒ Object

Create a Rails::Generators::GeneratedAttribute by supplying the attribute type and, optionally, the attribute name:

create_generated_attribute(:string, 'name')

222
223
 
# File 'railties/lib/rails/generators/test_case.rb', line 221

def create_generated_attribute(attribute_type, name = 'test', index = nil)
  Rails::Generators::GeneratedAttribute.parse([name, attribute_type, index].compact.join(':'))
end

#generator(args = self.default_arguments, options = {}, config = {}) ⇒ Object

Instantiate the generator.

# File 'railties/lib/rails/generators/test_case.rb', line 212

def generator(args=self.default_arguments, options={}, config={})
  @generator ||= self.generator_class.new(args, options, config.reverse_merge(:destination_root => destination_root))
end

#run_generator(args = self.default_arguments, config = {}) ⇒ Object

Runs the generator configured for this class. The first argument is an array like command line arguments:

class AppGeneratorTest < Rails::Generators::TestCase
  tests AppGenerator
  destination File.expand_path("../tmp", File.dirname(__FILE__))
  teardown :cleanup_destination_root

  test "database.yml is not created when skipping Active Record" do
    run_generator %w(myapp --skip-active-record)
    assert_no_file "config/database.yml"
  end
end

You can provide a configuration hash as second argument. This method returns the output printed by the generator.
