Question

假设我有一个通过POST处理XML的REST服务：

class DepartmentsController < ApplicationController

  # POST /departments/1/employees.xml
  def create
    params[:employees].each do |e| # <employees type="array">
      @employee = Employee.new(e)
      @employee.save
    end
    respond_to do |format|
      format.any { head status }
    end
  end

end

它期望的XML类似于：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<exmployees type="array">
  <employee>
    ...
  </employe>
  <employee>
    ...
  </employe>
</employees>

该服务在与iPhone应用程序交互时按预期工作，但我无法使用我的功能测试（我是Rails新手）。

所以这就是我正在尝试的事情：

  test "should create employees with client data" do
    xml_out = ""

    xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target => xml_out, :indent => 2)
    xml.instruct!
    xml.employees :type => "array" do
      xml.employee do
        # ...
      end
    end

    assert_difference('Employee.count') do
      @request.env['RAW_POST_BODY'] = xml_out
      post :create, :department_id => 234
    end
  end

我得到的错误：

NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.

似乎'params'变量缺少帖子数据：

{"department_id"=>234, "controller"=>"employees", "action"=>"create"}

我已经检查了'xml_out'的内容，它确实包含了正确形成的XML。我做错了什么？

感谢您的帮助：）

尝试将代码更改为：

post :create, :department_id => 234, :employees => Hash.from_xml(xml_out)

修改

从评论中，最终的解决方案是：

post :create, :department_id => 234, :employees => Hash.from_xml(xml_out)["employees"]

如何在功能测试中发布原始XML？
