I looked on stack overflow for an answer and found a few people who posted on similar problems but the solutions didn't help. From what I can tell my code is exactly right.
I am following the tutorial on: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/modeling-users#code-validates_uniqueness_of_email_case_insensitive_test
require 'spec_helper'
describe User do
before { @user = User.new(name: "Example User", email: "user@example.com") }
subject { @user }
it { should respond_to(:name) }
it { should respond_to(:email) }
it { should be_valid }
describe "when name is not present" do
before { @user.name = " " }
it { should_not be_valid }
end
describe "when email is not present" do
before { @user.email = " " }
it { should_not be_valid }
end
describe "when name is too long" do
before { @user.name = "a" * 51 }
it { should_not be_valid }
end
describe "when email format is invalid" do
it "should be invalid" do
addresses = %w[user@foo,com user_at_foo.org example.user@foo. foo@bar_baz.com foo@bar+baz.com]
addresses.each do | invalid_address |
@user.email = invalid_address
expect(@user).not_to be_valid
end
end
end
describe "when email format is valid" do
it "should be valid" do
addresses = %w[user@foo.COM A_US-ER@f.b.org frst.lst@foo.jp a+b@baz.cn]
addresses.each do | valid_address |
@user.email = valid_address
expect(@user).to be_valid
end
end
end
describe "when email address is already taken" do
before do
user_with_same_email = @user.dup
user_with_same_email.email = @user.email.upcase
user_with_same_email.save
end
#it "should not be valid" do
# expect(@user).not_to be_valid
#end
it { should_not be_valid }
end
end
The last specification is failing.
My User validation is as such:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
before_save { self.email = email.downcase }
validates :name, presence: true, length: { maximum: 50 }
VALID_EMAIL_REGEX = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i
validates :email, presence: true, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, uniqueness: { case_sensative: false }
end
I followed the tutorial perfectly and yet I can't seem to get this validation to work properly. I know this tutorial is a bit old and I may be using a few newer gems. I also know this isn't the best way to do this type of validation but the tutorial is just making it really simple at first. What is going on here?
Thank you!
EDIT: There is no error. The validation is giving a failure when it should be success.
Failures:
1) User when email address is already taken should not be valid
Failure/Error: it { should_not be_valid }
expected #<User id: nil, name: "Example User", email: "user@example.com", created_at: nil, updated_at: nil> not to be valid
# ./spec/models/user_spec.rb:58:in `block (3 levels in <top (required)>'

Edit again. user_spec.rb has been completely pasted in quest. Sorry I am really new at ruby and didn't realize what might be needed to help troubleshoot.
