Checking ActiveRecord Associations in RSpec

Question

I am learning how to write test cases using Rspec. I have a simple Post Comments Scaffold where a Post can have many Comments. I am testing this using Rspec. How should i go abo

Answer 1

Most people don't test the associations, as Rails already has unit tests to make sure those methods work correctly. If you are doing something complex, like involving a proc or something, you might want to explicitly test it. Usually you can do this by just doing

a = Post.new
a.comments << Comment.new
assert a.save
assert a.comments.size == 1

or something akin to that.
