172 CHAPTER 8 More authorization
.......
7 examples, 0 failures
All right! The examples for this controller are passing, but how about the feature—
the one you wrote previously to test that users can access this show action if they have
the correct permissions? This spec tested the negative, making sure a user without
permission can’t access this project.
With the code you just implemented, this feature should still pass as it did the last
time you ran it. Let’s find out by running bin/cucumber features/viewing
_projects.feature:
1 scenario (1 passed)
7 steps (7 passed)
Isn’t that wonderful? You rewrote the feature and it still passed! You’ve tested both the
granted and denied facets of this particular permission by writing a feature and spec
respectively.
Now that you implemented that little chunk of functionality and everything seems
to be going smoothly, let’s make sure the entire application is going the same way by
running rake cucumber:ok spec. Oh dear! You broke just about every feature in some
way:
Failing Scenarios:
cucumber features/creating_projects.feature:14
cucumber features/creating_tickets.feature:20
cucumber features/deleting_projects.feature:12
cucumber features/deleting_tickets.feature:19
cucumber features/editing_projects.feature:16
cucumber features/editing_tickets.feature:20
cucumber features/hidden_links.feature:35
cucumber features/hidden_links.feature:50 cucumber
features/viewing_tickets.feature:20
33 scenarios (9 failed, 4 skipped, 20 passed)
289 steps (9 failed, 87 skipped, 193 passed)
These features are all broken because you restricted the permissions on the find_project
method, and all of these features depend on this functionality in one way or another.
Let’s fix these, from the top, one at a time.
8.3 Fixing what you broke
Currently, you have a whole bundle of features that are failing! When this happens, it
may seem like everything’s broken (and maybe some things are on fire), but in reality
it’s not as bad as it seems. The best way to fix a mess like this is to break it down into
smaller chunks and tackle it one chunk at a time. The output from rake cucumber:ok
spec provided a list of the broken features: they are your chunks. Let’s go through
them and fix them, starting with the Editing Projects feature.
