#assert_changes(expression, message = nil, from: UNTRACKED, to: UNTRACKED, &block)

Assertion that the result of evaluating an expression is changed before and after invoking the passed in block.

assert_changes 'Status.all_good?' do
  post :create, params: { status: { ok: false } }
end

You can pass the block as a string to be evaluated in the context of the block. A lambda can be passed for the block as well.

assert_changes -> { Status.all_good? } do
  post :create, params: { status: { ok: false } }
end

The assertion is useful to test side effects. The passed block can be anything that can be converted to string with #to_s.

assert_changes :@object do
  @object = 42
end

The keyword arguments :from and :to can be given to specify the expected initial value and the expected value after the block was executed.

assert_changes :@object, from: nil, to: :foo do
  @object = :foo
end

An error message can be specified.

assert_changes -> { Status.all_good? }, 'Expected the status to be bad' do
  post :create, params: { status: { incident: true } }
end

    #assert_difference(expression, *args, &block)  
  



  

    

Test numeric difference between the return value of an expression as a result of what is evaluated in the yielded block.



assert_difference 'Article.count' do
  post :create, params: { article: {...} }
end



An arbitrary expression is passed in and evaluated.



assert_difference 'Article.last.comments(:reload).size' do
  post :create, params: { comment: {...} }
end



An arbitrary positive or negative difference can be specified. The default is 1.



assert_difference 'Article.count', -1 do
  post :delete, params: { id: ... }
end



An array of expressions can also be passed in and evaluated.



assert_difference [ 'Article.count', 'Post.count' ], 2 do
  post :create, params: { article: {...} }
end



A hash of expressions/numeric differences can also be passed in and evaluated.



assert_difference ->{ Article.count } => 1, ->{ Notification.count } => 2 do
  post :create, params: { article: {...} }
end



A lambda or a list of lambdas can be passed in and evaluated:



assert_difference ->{ Article.count }, 2 do
  post :create, params: { article: {...} }
end

assert_difference [->{ Article.count }, ->{ Post.count }], 2 do
  post :create, params: { article: {...} }
end



An error message can be specified.



assert_difference 'Article.count', -1, 'An Article should be destroyed' do
  post :delete, params: { id: ... }
end

    #assert_no_changes(expression, message = nil, &block)  
  



  

    

Assertion that the result of evaluating an expression is not changed before and after invoking the passed in block.



assert_no_changes 'Status.all_good?' do
  post :create, params: { status: { ok: true } }
end



An error message can be specified.

    #assert_no_difference(expression, message = nil, &block)  
  



  

    

Assertion that the numeric result of evaluating an expression is not changed before and after invoking the passed in block.



assert_no_difference 'Article.count' do
  post :create, params: { article: invalid_attributes }
end



A lambda can be passed in and evaluated.



assert_no_difference -> { Article.count } do
  post :create, params: { article: invalid_attributes }
end



An error message can be specified.



assert_no_difference 'Article.count', 'An Article should not be created' do
  post :create, params: { article: invalid_attributes }
end



An array of expressions can also be passed in and evaluated.



assert_no_difference [ 'Article.count', -> { Post.count } ] do
  post :create, params: { article: invalid_attributes }
end

    #assert_not(object, message = nil)  
  



  

    

Asserts that an expression is not truthy. Passes if object is nil or false. “Truthy” means “considered true in a conditional” like if foo.



assert_not nil    # => true
assert_not false  # => true
assert_not 'foo'  # => Expected "foo" to be nil or false



An error message can be specified.



assert_not foo, 'foo should be false'

    #assert_nothing_raised  
  



  

    

Assertion that the block should not raise an exception.



Passes if evaluated code in the yielded block raises no exception.



assert_nothing_raised do
  perform_service(param: 'no_exception')
end
