ruby - functional test for rails controller private method -

-

i have private method in controller. used database update. method calling controller method. , works fine.

but when trying write test case method tripping on accessing (session variable , params) in functional other methods working fine problem private method?

in setup method in functional test, setting session also.?

you should avoid testing private methods. "goal" behind having public/private/protected methods encapsulate logic , make easy change parts of code without having worry how 1 function or class interacts another.

that being said, if still feel need test private methods, there work arounds. found utility function via jay field's blog:

class class   def publicize_methods     saved_private_instance_methods = self.private_instance_methods     self.class_eval { public *saved_private_instance_methods }     yield     self.class_eval { private *saved_private_instance_methods }   end end

check link usage details, seems quick , simple way you're looking do.

(or else how bar method keep myclass variables straight on per instance basis?) now (2) question i'm after. since inner foo method doesn't use in myclass enclosure natural qustion is: javascript smart enough not keep myclass enclosure in memory use of foo? this depend entirely on implementation not language. naive implementations keep far more around others. answer true e.g. v8 (chrome's js engine) may not true spider...

example preg_replace('/\{[a-za-z.,\(\)0-9]+\}/', 'replaced', 'lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1({tag2()})}, consectetur adipiscing elit.'); the result: lorem ipsum dolor sit {tag1(replaced)}, consectetur adipiscing elit. question as can see "tag2" has been replaced, want replace "tag1" know how can this? (in cases might this: {tag1({tag2({tag3()})})}) , on.) btw using preg_replace_callback, easier show preg_replace here site can test code: http://www.spaweditor.com/scripts/regex/index.php you need add curly braces character set. here's pattern used: /\{[a-za-z.,\(\)\{\}0-9]+\}/ and here result: "lorem ipsum dolor sit replaced, consectetur adipiscing elit."
