I have a controller that uses a command object in a controller action. When mocking this command object in a grails' controller unit test, the hasErrors() method always returns false, even when I am purposefully violating its constraints.
def save = { RegistrationForm form ->
if(form.hasErrors()) {
// code block never gets executed
} else {
// code block always gets executed
}
}
In the test itself, I do this:
mockCommandObject(RegistrationForm)
def form = new RegistrationForm(emailAddress: "ken.bad@gmail",
password: "secret", confirmPassword: "wrong")
controller.save(form)
I am purposefully giving it a bad email address, and I am making sure the password and the confirmPassword properties are different. In this case, hasErrors() should return true... but it doesn't. I don't know how my testing can be any where reliable if such a basic thing does not work :/
Here is the RegistrationForm class, so you can see the constraints I am using:
class RegistrationForm {
def springSecurityService
String emailAddress
String password
String confirmPassword
String getEncryptedPassword() {
springSecurityService.encodePassword(password)
}
static constraints = {
emailAddress(blank: false, email: true)
password(blank: false, minSize:4, maxSize: 10)
confirmPassword(blank: false, validator: { confirmPassword, form ->
confirmPassword == form.password
})
}
}
