Activity Description
Add unit tests which add unique products and duplicate products. Note that you will need to modify the fixture to refer to products and carts by name, for example product: ruby.

My attempt:
In test/unit/cart_test.rb:
def new_cart_with_one_product(product_name)
cart = Cart.create
cart.add_product(products(product_name).id)
cart
end
test 'cart should create a new line item when adding a new product' do
cart = new_cart_with_one_product(:one)
assert_equal 1, cart.line_items.count
# Add a new product
cart.add_product(products(:ruby).id)
assert_equal 2, cart.line_items.count
end
test 'cart should update an existing line item when adding an existing product' do
cart = new_cart_with_one_product(:one)
# Re-add the same product
cart.add_product(products(:one).id)
assert_equal 1, cart.line_items.count
end

I am doubtful whether the question was about creating a new and duplicate line items or products. I thought the answer is along the lines of
test "unique_product_should_be_saved"
product = Product.new(:title => "unique-title",
:description => "a unique product",
:image_url => "unique.png",
:price => 22)
assert product.save
end
test "non_unique_product_should_error_out"
product = Product.new(:title => "unique-title",
:description => "a unique product",
:image_url => "unique.png",
:price => 22)
assert !product.save
assert_equal "has not been saved since it is a duplicate ", product.errors[:title].join('; ')
end

Updating Cart
Worth mentioning that there’s an error in one of these previous posts. It should be “assert_equal XXX, @cart.line_items.length” not count…..
Sean says
Doc,
Try using
multiple.times { cart.add_product(product.id).save! }
instead of
multiple.times { cart.add_product product.id }
Kamesh says
I was trying to add an additional test to products_controller_test to test the deletion of product in the cart, a point to note is that when i had the test case as shown below (as mentioned in the Solutions part), my functional tests failed
test "can't delete a product in cart" do
assert_difference('Product.count', 0) do
delete :destroy, :id => products(:ruby).to_param
end
assert_redirected_to products_path
end
I tried making the following update to the method, which then made my functional tests to pass
test "can't delete a product in cart" do
assert_difference('Product.count', 0) do
cart = Cart.new
cart.add_product(products(:ruby).id,products(:ruby).price).save!
delete :destroy, :id => products(:ruby).to_param
end
assert_redirected_to products_path
end

Use assigns to hook instance variables after a POST CREATE.
In test/functional/line_items_controller_test.rb:
test "One cart per session - The cart already exists" do
assert_no_difference('Cart.count') do
post :create, {product_id: products(:ruby).id}, {'cart_id' => '1'}
end
assert_equal "1", session[:cart_id]
assert_redirected_to store_url
end
test "One cart per session - Create a new cart" do
assert_difference('Cart.count', 1) do
post :create, product_id: products(:ruby).id
end
assert_redirected_to store_url
end
test "Validate existing carts" do
tests = [
[:coffee, :o1_coffee,"108.00", 'cart1'],
[:ruby, :o1_ruby, "149.85", 'cart1'],
[:rails, :o1_rails, "104.85", 'cart1'],
[:coffee, :o2_coffee, "36.00", 'cart2'],
[:ruby, :o2_ruby, "99.90", 'cart2']
].each do |t|
# Note :o2_coffee doesn't exist
# Validate t[1] exists in the database or POST created it!
begin
quantity = line_items(t[1]).quantity
rescue
quantity = 0
end
# Validate the products test database (fixture import)
assert products(t[0])
# Validate the carts test database (fixture import)
assert carts(t[3])
# Validate a product selection does not change the cart
assert_no_difference('Cart.count') do
post :create, {product_id: products(t[0]).id}, {'cart_id' => carts(t[3]).id.to_s}
end
# Validate the cart id set in the test database (fixture import) is the
# cart id from post
# ASSUMES @cart.id not altered in POST!!!! But this should never happen!
assert_equal carts(t[3]).id, assigns["cart"].id
# Validate choosing a product added 1 to its quantity
assert_equal quantity+1, assigns["line_item"].quantity
# Validate the product line_item total_price increases by the
# product price - t[2] reflects the price increase
assert_equal t[2], "%.2f" % assigns["line_item"].total_price
end
