    <p>I am attempting to create an API with Rails using BDD with RSpec. Rails version is 3.1.1, Ruby version is 1.9.2, Devise version is 1.5.3, and rspec version is 2.7.0. I am relatively new to Rails and very new to RSpec.</p> <p>I have defined a simple RSpec as follows to test a FormsController with essentially no logic.</p> <pre><code>describe FormsController, " handling GET /forms" do include Devise::TestHelpers render_views before do user = Factory.create(:user) # Handle Devise authentication user.confirm! sign_in user @form = mock_model(Form) Form.stub!(:all).and_return([ @form ]) end it "gets successfully" do get :index, :format =&gt; :json response.should be_success end it "finds all forms" do Form.should_receive(:all).and_return([@form]) get :index, :format =&gt; :json Rails.logger.info "*** response.body="+response.body end end </code></pre> <p>Form controller code is very simple currently.</p> <pre><code>class FormsController &lt; ApplicationController before_filter :authenticate_user! # GET /forms # GET /forms.json def index @forms = Form.find_all_by_owner_id(current_user.id) respond_to do |format| format.html # index.html.erb format.json { render :json =&gt; @forms } end end end </code></pre> <p>When I run the spec, "finds all forms" always fails with </p> <pre><code> Failure/Error: Form.should_receive(:all).and_return([@form]) (&lt;Form(id: integer, title: string, owner_id: integer, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime) (class)&gt;).all(any args) expected: 1 time received: 0 times </code></pre> <p>The output from log/test.log shows:</p> <pre><code>*** response.body=[] </code></pre> <p>Why? I feel that the problem stems from <code>Form.stub!(:all).and_return([ @form ])</code>, but I am not sure how to debug.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

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.
