  1. POGrails 2.0: Issue testing flash.message
    text
    copied!<p>I have a unit test for my <code>UserController</code> but since upgrading to Grails 2.0, the <code>flash</code> variable always seems to return an emtpy map with no message.</p> <p>Here are some code snippets of the <code>UserControllerTests</code>:</p> <pre><code>@TestFor(UserController) @Mock(User) class UserControllerTests { ... void testSaveSucceeds() { params.userName = 'Joe' ... controller.save() assert null != flash.message assert '/user/list' == response.redirectedUrl } } </code></pre> <p>In <code>UserController</code>:</p> <pre><code>def save = { def userInstance = new User(params) if (userInstance.validate()) { flash.message = message(code: 'default.created.message', args: [userInstance.userName ]) ... } </code></pre> <p>But my test result is as follows:</p> <pre><code>assert null != flash.message | | | | [:] null false </code></pre> <p>I have tried as an integration test as well because otherwise the <code>response</code> was null as weill but it did not fix the flash issue. The same problem also exists with <code>view</code> and <code>model</code>.</p> <p>What am I missing? Any help highly appreciated.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Jonas</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>Here's a weird scenario:</p> <p>My controller has the following:</p> <pre><code>def test = { flash.message = "Message" } def save = { flash.message = "Message" } </code></pre> <p>My Test looks like that:</p> <pre><code>void testSaveSucceeds() { controller.save() println "&gt;&gt;&gt; ${flash}" controller.test() println "&gt;&gt;&gt; ${flash}" } </code></pre> <p>The output like that:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; [:] &gt;&gt;&gt; [message:Message] </code></pre> <p>Interesting to mention is also that the debugger in IntelliJ stops at a breakpoint in the test() action but not in save()</p> <p>HOW can that be????</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Jonas</p>
