如何使用 rspec 测试控制器发布：在 Rails 上创建 JSON api？

我一直在努力让测试通过。我有一个 JSON API，如下所示：

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "b99f8173-0492-457f-9de9-6c1d8d6832ed",
      "type": "manufacturer_organizations",
      "attributes": {
        "account_number": "random test 123"
      },
      "relationships": {
        "organization": {
          "data": {
            "id": "fb20ddc9-a3ee-47c3-bdd2-f710541ff89c",
            "type": "organizations"
          }
        },
        "manufacturer": {
          "data": {
            "id": "1",
            "type": "manufacturers"
          }
        }
      }
    },...

我正在尝试做一个post :create在轨道上进行测试。

let!(:manufacturer_organization) {FactoryGirl.create(:manufacturer_organization)}
let(:manufacturer_organization2) { FactoryGirl.create(:manufacturer_organization)}

...

  describe "POST create" do
    it "posts a valid manufacturer organization data" do
      authenticate
      organization = FactoryGirl.create(:organization)
      manufacturer = FactoryGirl.create(:manufacturer)

      post :create, manufacturer_organization2.to_json #what should I put here instead?

      expect(json['data'].length).to eq(2)
    end

  #=> error: JSON::ParserError: A JSON text must at least contain two octets!

我尝试过各种SO帖子（this), this, and 本文

以下是我尝试过的一些尝试：

post :create, params: {organization_id: organization.id, manufacturer: manufacturer.id, account_number: "123 test account number"}
#=> error: JSON::ParserError:
   A JSON text must at least contain two octets!

or

post :create, params: :manufacturer_organization_2
#=> 
 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `symbolize_keys' for :manufacturer_organization_2:Symbol

or

json = { :format => 'json', :manufacturer_organization => { :account_number => "foo123", :organization_id => organization.id, :manufacturer_id => manufacturer.id } }
post :create, json
#=>  NoMethodError:
   undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass 

如何测试我的控制器是否接受manufacturer_id, organization_id, and account_number via post :create？现在我测试它的方法是计算初始值json['data'].length（最初为 1）；最后我期望json['data'].length成功后为2post :create。如何模拟创建有效的制造商组织输入？

Edit:

抱歉，忘记放置我的 json 方法助手：

def json
  JSON.parse(response.body)
end

另外，这个通行证：

  describe "POST create" do
    it "posts a valid manufacturer organization data" do
      authenticate
      organization = FactoryGirl.create(:organization)
      manufacturer = FactoryGirl.create(:manufacturer)
      post :create, {account_number: "Test account numba", organization_id: organization.id, manufacturer_id: manufacturer.id}
      expect(response).to be_success
    end

同时添加expect(json['success']).to eq("Yay!")给我这个错误：

JSON::ParserError: A JSON text must at least contain two octets!

控制器：

  def create
    @manufacturer_organization = ManufacturerOrganization.new(manufacturer_organization_params)
    if @manufacturer_organization.save
      puts "success!"
      render json: {success: "Yay!"}
    else
      puts "Sorry, something went wrong!"
    end
  end


def manufacturer_organization_params
    api_params.permit(:organization_id, :manufacturer_id, :account_number)
end

while @api_params ||= ActionController::Parameters.new(ActiveModelSerializers::Deserialization.jsonapi_parse(params))

在 RSpec 中，您永远不需要显式格式化参数。

post :create, params: { foo: 'bar' }, format: :json

这将正确格式化哈希值{ foo: 'bar' }作为请求正文中的 JSON。

要创建与 JSONAPI.org 结构匹配的哈希，您可以创建一个助手：

# support/api_spec_helper.rb
module APISpecHelper
  def to_json_api(model)
    {
      data: {
        type: ActiveModel::Naming.plural(model),
        attributes: model.attributes
      }.tap do |hash| 
        hash[:id] = model.id if model.persisted?
      end
    }
  end
end

您还可以使用 JSONAPI-RB gem 或 ActiveModel::Serializers 来构造/解构 JSONAPI 响应/参数。

require 'rails_helper'
require 'api_spec_helper'

RSpec.request "Manufacturer organizations" do 

  include APISpecHelper

  describe "POST '/manufacturer_organizations'" do
    let(:valid_params) do
      to_json_api(FactoryGirl.build(:manufacturer_organization))
    end
    let(:invalid_params) do
      to_json_api(ManufacturerOrganization.new(
        foo: 'bad_value'
      ))
    end

    describe "with valid attributes" do
      it "creates a manufacturer organization" do
        expect do
          post '/manufacturer_organizations', params: valid_params, format: :json
        end.to change(ManufacturerOrganization, :count).by(+1)
      end

      it "has the correct response" do
        post '/manufacturer_organizations', params: valid_params, format: :json
        expect(response).to have_status :created
        expect(response.headers[:location]).to eq(
          manufacturer_organization_path(ManufacturerOrganization.last)
        )
      end
    end

    describe "with valid attributes" do
      it "does not create a manufacturer organization" do
        expect do
          post '/manufacturer_organizations', params: invalid_params, format: :json
        end.to_not change(ManufacturerOrganization, :count)
      end

      it "has the correct response" do
        post '/manufacturer_organizations', params: invalid_params, format: :json
        expect(response).to have_status :unproccessable_entity
      end
    end
  end
end

返回正确的状态代码。

返回正确的响应代码非常简单：

def create
  @resource = Resource.create(some_params)
  if @resource.save
    # you can respond by pointing at the newly created resource but with no body
    head :created, location: @resource
    # or 
    render json: @resource, 
           status: :created, 
           location: @resource
  else
    render json: { errors: @resource.errors.full_messages }, 
           status: :unprocessable_entity
  end
end

如果 POST 请求不包含客户端生成的 ID 并且 请求的资源已成功创建，服务器必须 返回 201 Created 状态代码。
http://jsonapi.org/format/#crud

其他回应
服务器可以使用其他 HTTP 状态代码进行响应。
服务器可以包含带有错误响应的错误详细信息。

普遍接受的做法是使用422 - 无法处理的实体对于验证错误。

一个小问题是你应该使用序列化器给出正确的 JSON 响应并序列化正确的错误对象.
