    <p>When using factory girl and RSpec to test my controller, I'm getting the error:</p> <pre><code>Failures: 1) ProductsController Handling POST for create should redirect to products after success Failure/Error: response.should redirect_to(products_path) Expected response to be a &lt;:redirect&gt;, but was &lt;200&gt; </code></pre> <p>Based on the log file, it looks like the object already exists in the DB (and doesn't meet the redirect clause in the controller), which raises two questions:</p> <ol> <li>Why aren't the calls getting mocked/stubbed? </li> <li>What would a workaround be if I wanted to hit the DB? Using <code>@params = FactoryGirl.build(:product).attributes.except(:id, :created_at, :updated_at)</code> doesn't work either.</li> </ol> <p>Any help would be awesome. Thank you.</p> <p>test.log:</p> <pre><code>Processing by ProductsController#create as HTML Parameters: {"product"=&gt;{"name"=&gt;"Fruit Mania", "description"=&gt;"The mania that is taking over the planet!", "price"=&gt;"9.99", "inventory"=&gt;"1", "product_image"=&gt;"#&lt;File:0x00 User Load (0.3ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = 1 LIMIT 1 Product Exists (0.1ms) SELECT 1 AS one FROM "products" WHERE LOWER("products"."name") = LOWER('Fruit Mania') LIMIT 1 </code></pre> <p>products_controller_spec.rb:</p> <pre><code>describe ProductsController, "Handling POST for create" do def sign_in_user user = FactoryGirl.create(:user) sign_in user, @user end def do_post post :create, :product =&gt; @params end before do @product = mock_model(Product, :save=&gt; true) Product.stub!(:create).and_return(@product) @params = FactoryGirl.attributes_for(:product) end it "should redirect to products after success" do sign_in_user do_post pending "need to figure out why redirect fails" response.should redirect_to(products_path) end end </code></pre> <p>Factory:</p> <pre><code>FactoryGirl.define do factory :product do name "Fruit Mania" description "The mania that is taking over the planet!" price "9.99" inventory 1 product_image { File.open(File.join(Rails.root, 'spec', 'support', 'uploads', '1000x450.jpeg')) } end end </code></pre> <p>Controller:</p> <pre><code> def create @product = Product.new(params[:product]) if !@product.valid? flash.now[:error] = ("The product was not added: &lt;br&gt;&lt;li&gt;" + @product.errors.full_messages.join("&lt;li&gt;")).html_safe render "new" else if @product.save redirect_to products_path, :notice =&gt; "Product created successfully!" else flash.now[:error] = ("There were issues adding the product to the database.

    1. COYou're stubbing `create` but calling `new`. Check the validation errors to see why the save is failing in the using the db case

    2. COThere aren't any validation errors. It's failing because the product already exists (which led to the two questions I asked at the top, why does it already exist and why is it even hitting the DB?)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
