Creating a Location.
In the first part, we built an application that lists locations in English and Spanish.
In this part we will create a new location, showing localization concerns along the way. Remember, we are using Cucumber and BDD to drive out our application.
Let’s write the scenario on how we would do that.
Scenario: Create a new location Given I am on new location page And I fill in "Name" with "Shiny location" When I press "Create" Then I should see "Shiny location"The scenario is pretty short, and does not mention any implementation details. Currently, When we run Cucumber it will run all the scenarios. We really don’t need to do that since we are only focusing on the Create a new location scenario. Luckily, it’s easy to tell Cucumber to focus on just the “work in process” scenarios. Above the new scenario, add the @wip tag. (wip = Work In Progress)
It should look like this now.
@wipScenario: Create a new location Given I am on new location page And I fill in "Name" with "Shiny location" When I press "Create" Then I should see "Shiny location"Excellent, now we can run Cucumber and just focus on the current scenario.
$ cucumber --profile wipUsing the wip profile...Feature: Manage locations In order to manage locations As a user I want to create and edit my locations.
@wip Scenario: Create a new location # features/manage_locations.feature:19 Given I am on new location page # features/manage_locations.feature:20 And I fill in "Name" with "Shiny location" # features/manage_locations.feature:21 When I press "Create" # features/manage_locations.feature:22 Then I should see "Shiny location" # features/step_definitions/location_steps.rb:9
1 scenario (1 undefined)4 steps (1 skipped, 3 undefined)0m0.465s
You can implement step definitions for undefined steps with these snippets:
Given /^I am on new location page$/ do pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you hadend
Given /^I fill in "([^"]*)" with "([^"]*)"$/ do |arg1, arg2| pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you hadend
When /^I press "([^"]*)"$/ do |arg1| pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you hadend
The --wip switch was used, so the failures are expected.
FAIL! As expected, Cucumber tells us that we have undefined scenarios. Let’s chip away at this scenario and get it green.
Copy the step definitions for undefined steps into the features/step_definitions/location_step.rb file.
Given /^I am on new location page$/ do pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you hadend
Given /^I fill in "([^"]*)" with "([^"]*)"$/ do |arg1, arg2| pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you hadend
When /^I press "([^"]*)"$/ do |arg1| pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you hadend
Starting with the first step definition, we visit the new_location_path.
Given /^I am on new location page$/ do visit(new_locations_path)endRunning the scenario now yields the following output.

The --wip switch was used, so the failures were expected. All is good.We expected to see the content “Shiny location” in “Internationalization\n\nLocations\n\n”. Let’s look at it closely.
Why is it going to /locations? It should be going to /locations/create. It must be a routing issue, so open the routes.rb file and within the locale scope and add:
match "locations" => 'locations#create', :as => :locations, :via => [:post]We can verify our routes look correct using rake routes:
$ rake routes locations (/:locale)/locations(.:format) locations#indexnew_locations (/:locale)/locations/new(.:format) locations#new locations POST (/:locale)/locations(.:format) locations#create root /(:locale)(.:format) locations#indexThat looks right, so let’s run the scenario.

1 scenario (1 failed)4 steps (1 failed, 3 passed)0m0.613s
The --wip switch was used, so the failures were expected. All is good.Really? The same error? Let’s look back at our routes. The first route in the file is the index action. The way routes work is the first match wins. Since both routes have the name of locations, the index action always wins. We have Two possible solutions. Move the create action route to the top or add :via => get to the index action.
I like the latter. Let’s make the index action route look like:
match 'locations/' => 'locations#index', :as => :locations, :via => [:get]Recheck the routes:
locations GET (/:locale)/locations(.:format) locations#indexnew_locations (/:locale)/locations/new(.:format) locations#new locations POST (/:locale)/locations(.:format) locations#create root /(:locale)(.:format) locations#indexOK, only GET actions will call the index page. Our scenario should be happy, or at least, not complaining about routes any more.

You can see how using Cucumber to guide the design of a Rails application can get into a nice repeatable groove of creating the route, action, and view for a scenario.
Here, we forgot the C part of CRUD. Open the locations_controller and add the create method.
# POST /locations # POST /locations.json def create @location = Location.new(params[:location])
respond_to do |format| if @location.save format.html { redirect_to @location, notice: 'Location was successfully created.' } format.json { render json: @location, status: :created, location: @location } else format.html { render action: "new" } format.json { render json: @location.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end endLet’s run the test.

EXTRA CREDIT:
Scenario Outlines.
You might have noticed that the first and second scenario were essentially identical. The same is true for the third and fourth scenarios. We can group them together with outlines.
We put place holder in the outline and the corresponding values are in the table.
Feature: Manage locations In order to manage locations As a user I want to create and edit my locations.
Scenario Outline: List locations Given there is a location named "<location>" And I am on the <language> site When I am on the locations page Then I should see "<title>" And I should see "<result>"
Examples: | location | language | title | result | | location 1 | en | Locations | location 1 | | location 2 | es | Locaciones | location 2 |
Scenario Outline:: Create a new location Given I am on the <language> site And I am on new location page And I fill in "<name>" with "<location>" When I press "<button>" Then I should see "<result>"
Examples: | language | name | location | button | result | | en | Name | location 1 | Create | location 1 | | es | Nombre | location 1 | crear | location 1 |The beauty of this is that if you want to add a test, for example for name validation, we can easily add it to the Examples as I’ve done below:
Examples: | language | name | location | button | result | | en | Name | location 1 | Create | location 1 | | es | Nombre | location 1 | crear | location 1 | | en | Name | | Create | Name cannon be blank |
See you next time. Hasta luego!
