Instance Method Details

#assert_redirected_to(options = {}, message = nil) ⇒ Object

Assert that the redirection options passed in match those of the redirect called in the latest action. This match can be partial, such that assert_redirected_to(:controller => "weblog") will also match the redirection of redirect_to(:controller => "weblog", :action => "show") and so on.

Examples

# assert that the redirection was to the "index" action on the WeblogController
assert_redirected_to :controller => "weblog", :action => "index"

# assert that the redirection was to the named route login_url
assert_redirected_to 

# assert that the redirection was to the url for @customer
assert_redirected_to @customer

def assert_redirected_to(options = {}, message=nil)
  validate_request!

  assert_response(:redirect, message)
  return true if options == @response.location

  redirected_to_after_normalisation = normalize_argument_to_redirection(@response.location)
  options_after_normalisation       = normalize_argument_to_redirection(options)

  if redirected_to_after_normalisation != options_after_normalisation
    flunk "Expected response to be a redirect to <#{options_after_normalisation}> but was a redirect to <#{redirected_to_after_normalisation}>"
  end
end

#assert_response(type, message = nil) ⇒ Object

Asserts that the response is one of the following types:

  • :success - Status code was 200

  • :redirect - Status code was in the 300-399 range

  • :missing - Status code was 404

  • :error - Status code was in the 500-599 range

You can also pass an explicit status number like assert_response(501) or its symbolic equivalent assert_response(:not_implemented). See ActionDispatch::StatusCodes for a full list.

Examples

# assert that the response was a redirection
assert_response :redirect

# assert that the response code was status code 401 (unauthorized)
assert_response 401
