POCucumber: rails dynamic find not working in paths.rb
text
Body
copied!<p>I am working on rails with rspec, rspec-rails, cucumber and webrat. I am trying to learn BDD and testing in general. I have a cucumber scenario like this:</p> <pre><code> Scenario: Questions List Given quiz titled "Pearl Jam" has questions named "Corduroy, Dissident" When I go to the experiment page for quiz titled "Pearl Jam" Then I should see "Corduroy" And I should see "Dissident" </code></pre> <p>I have alrady added step 1, where I create and save a quiz correctly (I tested through puts). Now I am working on step 2. I am adding a new path in paths.rb</p> <pre><code>when /^the experiment page for quiz titled "(.*)"$/i new_quiz_experiment_path(Quiz.find_by_title($1)) </code></pre> <p>For some reason <code>find_by_title</code> does not work. I get this error message:</p> <pre><code>new_quiz_experiment_url failed to generate from {:quiz_id=>nil, :action=>"new", :controller=>"experiments"}, expected: {:action=>"new", :controller=>"experiments"}, diff: {:quiz_id=>nil} (ActionController::RoutingError) </code></pre> <p>I am sure the record is there, and correctly saved; if I insert</p> <pre><code>puts Quiz.find(1).title </code></pre> <p>I get "Pearl Jam". Looks like <code>find_by</code> is not working, which is quite weird since the cucumber generated file contains this example:</p> <pre><code> # when /^(.*)'s profile page$/i # user_profile_path(User.find_by_login($1)) </code></pre> <p>I also tried a simpler find first with conditions, it doesn't work either.</p> <p>Any idea?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br> Davide</p>
