Another Quick Tip: Asserting view renders in a MonoRail controller test

13 September, 2007. It was a Thursday.

This is another one of those “blog it so I can remember it” posts.

My last post about a similar tip was relating to asserting redirects in a MonoRail controller. This one deals with asserting which view is being rendered in your controller when only RenderView is called.

Controller Code

       1: public class CheckoutController : BaseController
    
       2: {
    
       3:     public void ValidateOrder(CheckoutOrderDTO orderToValidate)
    
       4:     {
    
       5:         // code to validate order
    
       6:  
    
       7:         RenderView("review");
    
       8:     }
    
       9: }

Controller Test Code

       1: Assert.AreEqual(@"checkoutreview", controller.SelectedViewName);
  

It’s a subtle difference from asserting redirects, because it doesn’t require the leading “/” or the “.rails” extension to be included.
