我有一个方法可以创建一个或多个新的ActiveRecord对象并将它们作为数组返回:
class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :children
def build_children
5.times do |i|
Child.create
end
return children
end
end
在为用户意外调用build_children
两次的角落情况编写规范时,我注意到它没有按预期失败:
# passes
it "should return the previous batch of children if build_children called twice" do
parent = Parent.create
children = parent.build_children
more_children = parent.build_children
children.should == more_children
end
我认为这会失败,在第一次通话中返回5个孩子的数组,在第二个通话中返回10个。相反,它会两次返回原始值。
添加重新加载也不会让它失败!事实上,它似乎失败的唯一方法是重新加载后以某种方式访问返回的数组,如打印它:
# this fails, as expected
it "should return the previous batch of children if build_children called twice" do
parent = Parent.create
children = parent.build_children
parent.reload
puts children
more_children = parent.build_children
children.should == more_children
end
令人困惑的是,这一系列命令在控制台中按预期工作:
parent = Parent.create
children = parent.build_children
parent.reload
more_children = parent.build_children
# => [ array of 10 children ]
reload
在rspec示例组中的行为是否有所不同?访问实例化的AR对象有什么特别之处?
