测试可变范围关联

Question

我正在努力使我的测试稳健可靠，并且我一直在将一些复杂的查询和关联分解为更小的查询和关联，或者重构数据并将其移动到范围中。

鉴于以下类：

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :location

  scope :in_location, ->(location) { where(location: location) }
  scope :findable,    ->(location, not_ids) {
    in_location(location).where.not(id: not_ids)
  }
end

class Container < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :location
  # THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TEST 
  has_many :findable_items, ->(container) { 
    findable(container.location, container.not_findable_ids)
  }, class_name: 'Item'
end

如何在不显着影响数据库的情况下测试这样的变量 has_many 关系？我知道我可以自己测试 Item.findable 方法；我感兴趣的是 container.findable_items 方法。

注意：正在测试的实际关联比这更复杂，并且需要相当广泛的设置；它是运行通过其他一些嵌套关联和范围。如果可能，我想避免这种设置，只是测试是否使用正确的值调用范围。

我的 Gemfile 的相关部分：

rails (4.2.3)
shoulda-matchers (2.6.2)
factory_girl (4.5.0)
factory_girl_rails (4.5.0)
rspec-core (3.3.2)
rspec-expectations (3.3.1)
rspec-its (1.2.0)
rspec-mocks (3.3.2)
rspec-rails (3.3.3)

我的项目中有 shoulda-matchers，所以我可以做基本的完整性测试：

it { should have_many(:findable_items).class_name('Item') }

但这失败了：

describe 'findable_line_items' do
  let(:container) { @container } # where container is a valid but unsaved Container
  let(:location)  { @container.location }
  it 'gets items that are in the location and not excluded' do
    container.not_findable_ids = [1,2]
    # so it doesn't hit the database
    expect(Item).to receive(:findable).with(location, container.not_findable_ids) 
    container.findable_items
  end
end

此规范失败并出现以下错误：

1) Container findable_line_items gets items that are in the location and not excluded

 # ./spec/models/container_spec.rb:25:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

如果不实际设置满足所有要求的项目，您将如何通过此规范？

Answer 1

我最终采用了这样的解决方案：

describe 'findable_line_items' do
  let(:container) { @container } # where container is a valid but unsaved Container
  let(:location)  { @container.location }
  it 'gets items that are in the location and not excluded' do
    # so it doesn't hit the database
    expect(Item).to receive(:findable).with(location, container.not_findable_ids).and_call_original
    expect(container).to receive(:location).and_call_original
    expect(container).to receive(:not_findable_ids).and_call_original
    container.findable_items
  end
end

发生的错误是在 ActiveRecord 关联设置中的某处；它试图在从我的项目存根返回的 nil 对象上实例化一个 ActiveRecord 数组。添加 .and_call_original 解决了该错误。

我真的不关心测试是否从此关联返回了正确的对象，因为该范围正在别处进行测试，只是正在使用该范围。在这种情况下，它仍然会访问数据库，但不会达到设置完整测试所需的 15 次。
