Re: Attachment-fu + Story Runner

Hi,

I had the same problem, couldn't get it to run with Stories thought...

Had to test file uploads using controller specs, which works but is not as

clear as a Story.

I'm guessing the bug where it changes the TempFile to a String will be fixed

soon by the core team, but if someone has a patch it would be awesome!

I've now located where this is going wrong, though I am not yet sure  

how to fix it.

In rails' integration.rb, there is a method called 'process'. around  

line 226. It mangles the parameters by calling:

           data = requestify(parameters)

doing:

           puts "\n1----===#{parameters.inspect}"

           puts "\n2----===#{data.inspect}"

a bit later reveals the problem:

1----==={:quick_file=>{:filename=>"file- 

TFile.txt", :uploaded_data=>#<ActionController::TestUploadedFile: 

0x3434150 @content_type="text/plain", @tempfile=#<File:/tmp/ 

test_upload29259-0.txt>,  

@original_filename="test_upload.txt">}, :quick_folder=> 

{:id=>1330}, :request_type=>"xml"}

2----==="quick_file%5Bfilename%5D=file-TFile.txt&quick_file% 

5Buploaded_data%5D=%23%3CActionController%3A%3ATestUploadedFile% 

3A0x3434150%3E&quick_folder%5Bid%5D=1330&request_type=xml"

Obviously that's not going to work. I wonder how Test::Unit does it,  

then, though...

Hi Luis,

I read through that thread, but unfortunately it wasn't much help.

fixture_file_upload also creates an  

ActionController::TestUploadedFile. It's is just a shortcut to  

ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new.

There's no problem with the path - it creates the fixture and loads  

the file, and has the right values inside if I inspect the params  

directly before posting them:

{:filename=>"file- 

TFile.txt", :uploaded_data=>#<ActionController::TestUploadedFile: 

0x33f83bc @content_type=#<Mime::Type:0x10e2490 @symbol=:text,  

@synonyms=[], @string="text/plain">, @tempfile=#<File:/tmp/ 

test_upload29049-0.txt>, @original_filename="test_upload.txt">}

It's only once this is passed into the controller that it all gets  

to_s'ed.

I like the idea of 'providing a real file upload', but I'm not sure  

how to do that in a Story... if anyone has any suggestions or  

pointers, they would be welcome!

Thanks,

Daniel

Since there are quite a few files involved.

Thanks for your time,

A similar discussion was raised back in november (about  

fixture_file_upload):

http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2007-November/004378.html

Instead of mocking the FileUpload, why not provide a real one?

After all, the StoryRunner is aimed to fully exercise your code :-D

Also, adjust the path of your TestFileUpload file location,  

instead of

a relative one (../spec/fixtures) provide one related to RAILS_ROOT,

which will work no matter where you put your helper or what is your

current directory (Dir.chdir).

HTH,
