Module: ActiveModel::Lint::Tests

Relationships & Source Files
Defined in: activemodel/lib/active_model/lint.rb

Overview

You can test whether an object is compliant with the Active Model ::ActiveModel::API by including Tests in your TestCase. It will include tests that tell you whether your object is fully compliant, or if not, which aspects of the ::ActiveModel::API are not implemented.

Note an object is not required to implement all APIs in order to work with Action Pack. This module only intends to provide guidance in case you want all features out of the box.

These tests do not attempt to determine the semantic correctness of the returned values. For instance, you could implement valid? to always return true, and the tests would pass. It is up to you to ensure that the values are semantically meaningful.

Objects you pass in are expected to return a compliant object from a call to to_model. It is perfectly fine for to_model to return self.

Instance Attribute Summary

  • #test_persisted? ⇒ Boolean readonly

    Passes if the object’s model responds to persisted? and if calling this method returns either true or false.

Instance Method Summary

  • #test_errors_aref

    Passes if the object’s model responds to errors and if calling [](attribute) on the result of this method returns an array.

  • #test_model_naming

    Passes if the object’s model responds to model_name both as an instance method and as a class method, and if calling this method returns a string with some convenience methods: :human, :singular and :plural.

  • #test_to_key

    Passes if the object’s model responds to to_key and if calling this method returns nil when the object is not persisted.

  • #test_to_param

    Passes if the object’s model responds to to_param and if calling this method returns nil when the object is not persisted.

  • #test_to_partial_path

    Passes if the object’s model responds to to_partial_path and if calling this method returns a string.

  • #assert_boolean(result, name) private
  • #model private

Instance Attribute Details

#test_persisted? ⇒ Boolean (readonly)

Passes if the object’s model responds to persisted? and if calling this method returns either true or false. Fails otherwise.

persisted? is used when calculating the URL for an object. If the object is not persisted, a form for that object, for instance, will route to the create action. If it is persisted, a form for the object will route to the update action.

# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/lint.rb', line 113



def assert_boolean(result, name)
  assert result == true || result == false, "#{name} should be a boolean"
end

# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/lint.rb', line 108



def model
  assert_respond_to @model, :to_model
  @model.to_model
end


  








  

    #test_errors_aref  
  



  

    

Passes if the object’s model responds to errors and if calling [](attribute) on the result of this method returns an array. Fails otherwise.



errors[attribute] is used to retrieve the errors of a model for a given attribute. If errors are present, the method should return an array of strings that are the errors for the attribute in question. If localization is used, the strings should be localized for the current locale. If no error is present, the method should return an empty array.

def test_errors_aref
  assert_respond_to model, :errors
  assert_equal [], model.errors[:hello], "errors#[] should return an empty Array"
end


  








  

    #test_model_naming  
  



  

    

Passes if the object’s model responds to model_name both as an instance method and as a class method, and if calling this method returns a string with some convenience methods: :human, :singular and :plural.



Check ::ActiveModel::Naming for more information.

def test_model_naming

  model_name = model.class.model_name
  assert_respond_to model_name, :to_str
  assert_respond_to model_name.human, :to_str
  assert_respond_to model_name.singular, :to_str
  assert_respond_to model_name.plural, :to_str

  assert_respond_to model, :model_name
  assert_equal model.model_name, model.class.model_name
end


  








  

    #test_to_key  
  



  

    

Passes if the object’s model responds to to_key and if calling this method returns nil when the object is not persisted. Fails otherwise.



to_key returns an ::Enumerable of all (primary) key attributes of the model, and is used to a generate unique DOM id for the object.

# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/lint.rb', line 31



def test_to_key
  assert_respond_to model, :to_key
  def model.persisted?() false end
  assert model.to_key.nil?, "to_key should return nil when `persisted?` returns false"
end


  








  

    #test_to_param  
  



  

    

Passes if the object’s model responds to to_param and if calling this method returns nil when the object is not persisted. Fails otherwise.



to_param is used to represent the object’s key in URLs. Implementers can decide to either raise an exception or provide a default in case the record uses a composite primary key. There are no tests for this behavior in lint because it doesn’t make sense to force any of the possible implementation strategies on the implementer.

def test_to_param
  assert_respond_to model, :to_param
  def model.to_key() [1] end
  def model.persisted?() false end
  assert model.to_param.nil?, "to_param should return nil when `persisted?` returns false"
end


  








  

    #test_to_partial_path  
  



  

    

Passes if the object’s model responds to to_partial_path and if calling this method returns a string. Fails otherwise.



to_partial_path is used for looking up partials. For example, a BlogPost model might return “blog_posts/blog_post”.
