    <p>I'm trying to test my controller #merge_with action. I want to test that @article is not nil, and gets assigned the article found in the database. Not sure why the test is failing, because the action seems to work just fine in the browser.</p> <p>The controller #merge_with action.</p> <pre><code>def merge_with unless current_user.admin? flash[:error] = _("You are not allowed to perform a merge action") redirect_to :action =&gt; :index return end @article = Article.find_by_id(params[:id]) if @article.merge_with(params[:merge_with]) flash[:notice] = _("Articles successfully merged!") redirect_to :action =&gt; :index else flash[:notice] = _("Articles couldn't be merged") redirect_to :action =&gt; :edit, :id =&gt; params[:id] end end </code></pre> <p>My RSpec test of the redirect is failing due to the merge_with called on the @article object. </p> <pre><code>context "when user is admin" do before :each do @admin_user = Factory(:user, :profile =&gt; Factory(:profile_admin)) @article = Factory(:article, :user =&gt; @user) request.session = {:user =&gt; @admin_user.id} end it "should merge articles" do Article.should_receive(:find_by_id).with(@article.id).and_return(@article) post :merge_with, id: @article.id assigns(:article).should == @article end end </code></pre> <p>The Error Message</p> <pre><code>expected: #&lt;Article id: 1, type: "Article", title: "A big article", author: nil, body: "A content with several data", extended: "extended content for fun", excerpt: nil, created_at: "2013-11-22 21:19:38", updated_at: "2013-11-22 21:19:36", user_id: nil, permalink: "a-big-article", guid: "deadbeef2", text_filter_id: nil, whiteboard: nil, name: nil, published: true, allow_pings: true, allow_comments: true, published_at: "2005-01-01 02:00:00", state: "published", parent_id: nil, settings: {}, post_type: "read"&gt; got: nil (using ==) </code></pre>

    1. COHave you figured out which of the three `redirect` paths you're following within `merge_with`?

    2. COThe test bypasses the unless block redirect, I've checked that part already with another test which passes. Even when I comment out all the redirects, I'm still getting nil for the assigns(:article) test.

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).
