Changing a ticket’s state
And I select "Open" from "State"
And I press "Create Comment"
Then I should see "Comment has been created."
And I should see "Open" within "#ticket .state"
In this scenario, you follow a ticket’s link from the homepage (which you go to in the
Background) and go through the process of creating a comment, much like in the
Creating Comments feature, only this time you select a state. This is the first part of
the scenario that you can expect to fail because you don’t have a state-select box yet.
After the comment is created, you should see the state appear in the #ticket .state
area. This is the second part of the scenario that will fail.
When you run this scenario by running bin/cucumber features/creating
_comments.feature:36, it will fail like this:
And I select "Open" from "State"
cannot select option, no select box with id,
name, or label 'State' found (Capybara::ElementNotFound)
As you can see from this output, the “I select” step attempts to select an option from a
select box. In this case, it can’t find the select box because you haven’t added it yet!
With this select box, users of your application should be able to change the ticket’s
state by selecting a value from it, entering some comment text, and clicking the
Create Comment button.
Before you do all that, however, you need to create the State model and its related
table, which is used to store the states.
10.2.1 Creating the State model
Right now you need to add a select box.
When you’re done, you should have one
that looks like figure 10.5.
Before adding this select box, let’s set up
the TicketsController’s show action to
return a collection of states that you can
populate the drop select box with. Change
the show action to be like this now:
def show
@comment = @ticket.comments.build
@states = State.all
end
Here you call all on the State class, which
doesn’t exist yet. You’ll be storing the states in
a table because you’d like the users to be able
to create their own states. For now, you define
this State model to have a name field as well
as two other fields: color and background, Figure 10.5 State select box
