Rails Functional TestCase

Its a shame that Rails doesn’t define its own Test::Unit::TestCase subclasses. I’ve taken that into my own hands. This one puts Test on the front because that’s the Test::Unit way.

require 'test/unit'

def Object.path2class(klassname)
  klassname.split('::').inject(Object) { |k,n| k.const_get n }
end

class FunctionalTestCase < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def setup
    self.class.name =~ /\ATest(.*)\Z/
    return unless $1
    controller_klass = Object.path2class $1
    @controller = controller_klass.new
    controller_klass.send(:define_method, :rescue_action) { |e| raise e }
    @request = ActionController::TestRequest.new
    @response = ActionController::TestResponse.new

    @deliveries = []
    ActionMailer::Base.deliveries = @deliveries
  end

  def test_stupid
  end

end
