I get NoMethodError when I run test
for the code below
csv_importer.rb
require 'csv_importer/engine'
class WebImport
def initialize(url)
@url = url
end
def call
url = 'http://example.com/people.csv'
csv_string = open(url).read.force_encoding('UTF-8')
string_to_users(csv_string)
end
def string_to_users(csv_string)
counter = 0
duplicate_counter = 0
user = []
CSV.parse(csv_string, headers: true, header_converters: :symbol) do |row|
next unless row[:name].present? && row[:email_address].present?
user = CsvImporter::User.create row.to_h
if user.persisted?
counter += 1
else
duplicate_counter += 1
end
end
p "Email duplicate record: #{user.email_address} - #{user.errors.full_messages.join(',')}" if user.errors.any?
p "Imported #{counter} users, #{duplicate_counter} duplicate rows ain't added in total"
end
end
csv_importer_test.rb
require 'csv_importer/engine'
require 'test_helper'
require 'rake'
class CsvImporterTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
test 'truth' do
assert_kind_of Module, CsvImporter
end
test 'should override_application and import data' do
a = WebImport.new(url: 'http://example.com/people.csv')
a.string_to_users('Olaoluwa Afolabi')# <-- I still get error even I put a comma separated list of attributes that is imported into the db here.
assert_equal User.count, 7
end
end
csv format in the url in the code: This saves into DB once I run the Rake Task

What I have done to debug:
I use byebug
and I figured out the in csv_importer_test.rb
, the line where I have a.string_to_users('Olaoluwa Afolabi')
is throwing error. See byebug error below:
So, I when I run rails test
, I get the error below:
So, how do I solve this error, I have no clue what am doing wrong??
If you don't have any row in your csv_string
, this line:
user = CsvImporter::User.create row.to_h
isn't executed, so user
variable holds previous value, which is []
:
user = []
As we know, there's no method errors
defined for Array
, yet you try to call it in this line:
p "Email duplicate record: #{user.email_address} - #{user.errors.full_messages.join(',')}" if user.errors.any?
and that's why you get an error.
