    <p>I'm trying to solidify my understanding of rails and the BDD workflow, so I wanted to start small by creating one of those mini-blogs, but with rspec. Right now I have an ArticlesController and Article model, and associated rspec files. Article is very simple, has just title:string and content:text, and the ArticlesController is RESTful - although I hand wrote the MCV for Article, it's basically the same as if I used a scaffold to create it.</p> <p>However I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to writing a test in rspec for the PUT update. I'm using Factory Girl to create the article object, and so far my code looks like:</p> <pre><code>#factories.rb FactoryGirl.define do factory :article do title "a title" content "hello world" end #articles_controller_spec.rb before(:each) do @article = Factory(:article) end describe "PUT 'update/:id'" do it "allows an article to be updated" do @attr = { :title =&gt; "new title", :content =&gt; "new content" } put :update, :id =&gt; @article.id, :article =&gt; @attr response.should be_successful end end </code></pre> <p>However I keep getting:</p> <pre><code>Failures: 1) ArticlesController PUT 'update/:id' allows an article to be updated Failure/Error: response.should be_successful expected successful? to return true, got false </code></pre> <p>What am I doing wrong? And am I using the right tools? When I run my test server, New, Edit, Destroy all work as I would expect them to, so I'm guessing this is a problem with my understanding of RSpec. Let me know if I'm wrong - thanks!</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.
