How do you test a command object in a grails controller integration test?
- by egervari
I'm new to grails. How do I test a form command object to make sure that it's working? Here's some setup code in a test. When I try to do it, I get the following exceptions:
Error occurred creating command object.
org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.mvc.exceptions.ControllerExecutionException: Error occurred creating command object.
at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
....
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: password for class: project.user.RegistrationForm
Possible solutions: password
Here is my test case. As you can see, I set "password" on the params map...
void testSaveWhenDataIsCorrect() {
controller.params.emailAddress = "[email protected]"
controller.params.password = "secret"
controller.params.confirmPassword = "secret"
controller.save()
assertEquals "success", redirectArgs.view
...
}
Here's the controller action, that adds the command object as a closure parameter:
def save = { RegistrationForm form ->
if(form.hasErrors()) {
render view: "create", model: [form: form]
} else {
def user = new User(form.properties)
user.password = form.encryptedPassword
if(user.save()) {
redirect(action: "success")
} else {
render view: "create", model: [form: form]
}
}
}
Here's the command object itself... and note that it DOES have a "password" field...
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, size:4..10)
confirmPassword(blank: false, validator: {
password != confirmPassword
})
}
}
I'm totally lost in the non-intuitive way to do controllers... Please help.
