I have a shoulda matcher in my avatar_parts_spec.rb and I can't get it pass:
Test:
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe AvatarPart, :type => :model do
it { should validate_presence_of(:name) }
it { should validate_presence_of(:type) }
it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:name).case_insensitive }
it { should belong_to(:avatar) }
end
Model:
class AvatarPart < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :name, :type, :avatar_id
belongs_to :avatar
validates_uniqueness_of :name, case_sensitive: false
validates :name, :type, presence: true, allow_blank: false
end
Migration:
class CreateAvatarParts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table :avatar_parts do |t|
t.string :name, null: false
t.string :type, null: false
t.integer :avatar_id
t.timestamps
end
end
end
Error:
1) AvatarPart should require unique value for name
Failure/Error: it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:name).case_insensitive }
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:
SQLite3::ConstraintException: NOT NULL constraint failed: avatar_parts.type: INSERT INTO "avatar_parts" ("avatar_id", "created_at", "name", "type", "updated_at") VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
What could be the cause of the error?
Edit: Github repo: https://github.com/preciz/avatar_parts
The documentation for that matcher says:
This matcher works a bit differently than other matchers. As noted before, it will create an instance of your model if one doesn't already exist. Sometimes this step fails, especially if you have database-level restrictions on any attributes other than the one which is unique. In this case, the solution is to populate these attributes with before you call
validate_uniqueness_of
.
So in your case the solution would be something like:
describe "uniqueness" do
subject { AvatarPart.new(name: "something", type: "something else") }
it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:name).case_insensitive }
end
