RSpec测试生态系统架构
RSpec-Rails测试框架采用分层架构设计，确保应用的每个组件都能得到充分验证：
环境准备与项目初始化
# 克隆项目仓库
git clone https://link.gitcode.com/i/787661c00736493085e4dcf3a4eb95a9.git
cd rspec-rails-examples
# 安装依赖
bundle install
# 初始化测试数据库
rails db:test:prepare
# 运行全套测试
bundle exec rspec
核心依赖组件说明：
| 组件 | 版本 | 作用 |
|---|---|---|
| rspec-rails | ~> 3.2 | RSpec与Rails集成核心 |
| capybara | 最新版 | 浏览器模拟与系统测试 |
| factory_girl_rails | ~> 4.5 | 测试数据生成 |
| database_cleaner | 最新版 | 测试数据清理 |
| shoulda-matchers | 3.0.1 | 简化模型测试断言 |
| poltergeist | 最新版 | 无头浏览器测试 |
| vcr | 最新版 | API请求录制与回放 |
单元测试：模型层的坚实保障
基础模型测试结构
# spec/models/subscription_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe Subscription, :type => :model do
context "db" do
context "indexes" do
it { should have_db_index(:email).unique(true) }
it { should have_db_index(:confirmation_token).unique(true) }
end
context "columns" do
it { should have_db_column(:email).of_type(:string).with_options(limit: 100, null: false) }
it { should have_db_column(:confirmed).of_type(:boolean).with_options(default: false, null: false) }
end
end
context "validation" do
let(:subscription) { build(:subscription) }
it "requires unique email" do
expect(subscription).to validate_uniqueness_of(:email)
end
it "requires email format" do
expect(subscription).to allow_value("user@example.com").for(:email)
expect(subscription).not_to allow_value("invalid-email").for(:email)
end
end
end
高级模型行为测试
使用shoulda-matchers可以大幅简化测试代码：
# 等价于15行传统测试代码
it { should validate_presence_of(:email) }
it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:email) }
it { should validate_presence_of(:confirmation_token) }
it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:confirmation_token) }
时间敏感型测试的处理策略：
context "start_on" do
it "defaults to today" do
now = Time.zone.now
today = now.to_date
travel_to now do
expect(build(:subscription).start_on).to eq(today)
end
end
end
集成测试：控制器与路由的协作验证
控制器测试最佳实践
# spec/controllers/subscriptions_controller_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe SubscriptionsController, :type => :controller do
context "POST create" do
it "redirects to pending subscriptions page" do
params = { subscription: { email: "e@example.tld", start_on: "2014-12-31" } }
post :create, params
expect(response).to redirect_to(pending_subscriptions_path)
end
it "calls Subscription.create_and_request_confirmation(params)" do
email = "e@example.tld"
start_on = "2015-02-28"
expect(Subscription).to receive(:create_and_request_confirmation)
.with({ email: email, start_on: start_on })
post :create, { subscription: { email: email, start_on: start_on } }
end
end
end
路由测试策略
# 路由存在性测试
it "routes to #confirm" do
expect(get: "/subscriptions/confirm/abc123").to route_to(
controller: "subscriptions",
action: "confirm",
confirmation_token: "abc123"
)
end
# 路由命名测试
it "generates named route" do
expect(confirm_subscription_path("abc123")).to eq("/subscriptions/confirm/abc123")
end
系统测试：模拟真实用户行为
Capybara特性测试框架
# spec/features/subscribe_to_newsletter_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
feature "Subscribe to newsletter" do
scenario "subscribes user to newsletter" do
visit_new_subscription
fill_in "Email", with: "buddy@example.tld"
fill_in "Start date", with: "01/01/2015"
click_button "Subscribe"
expect(page).to be_pending_subscription_page
expect do
visit_emailed_confirm_subscription_link("buddy@example.tld")
expect(page).to be_confirm_subscription_page(Subscription.last)
.with_subscription_starting_on("January 1st, 2015")
end.to change { Subscription.where(confirmed: true).count }.from(0).to(1)
end
end
跨浏览器兼容性测试
# 针对不同浏览器的测试配置
context "in browser with native date input", driver: driver_with(native_date_input: true) do
# 原生日期输入测试场景
end
context "in browser without native date input", driver: driver_with(native_date_input: false) do
# JS日期选择器测试场景
end
API测试：构建可靠的接口服务
认证API测试示例
# spec/api/v1/token_spec.rb
require 'rails_helper'
describe '/api/v1/token' do
context 'POST with correct credentials' do
it 'issues opaque and tamper-resistant access token' do
user = create(:user)
parameters = { user: { email: user.email, password: user.password } }.to_json
post '/api/v1/token', parameters, json_request_headers
expect(response).to have_http_status(:created)
expect(response.content_type).to eq('application/json')
expect(json.keys).to eq [:access_token]
expect(json[:access_token]).to be_encrypted_to_hide_token_construction(user.access_tokens.last.unencrypted)
expect(json[:access_token]).to be_signed_to_resist_tampering
end
end
end
错误处理测试矩阵
| 测试场景 | 预期状态码 | 响应格式 | 安全考虑 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 错误密码 | 401 | JSON | 不泄露用户存在性 |
| 未知邮箱 | 401 | JSON | 统一错误消息 |
| 请求格式错误 | 400 | JSON | 详细错误说明 |
| 媒体类型错误 | 415 | JSON | 明确支持类型 |
| 未接受格式 | 406 | HTML | 符合HTTP规范 |
高级测试技术与最佳实践
自定义匹配器开发
# spec/matchers/have_error_messages.rb
module Matchers
def have_error_messages(*args)
HaveErrorMessages.new(*args)
end
class HaveErrorMessages
def initialize(*args)
@expected_messages = *args
end
def matches?(actual_page)
actual_page.within "#error_explanation" do
expected_error_count_msg = "#{@expected_messages.size} #{'error'.pluralize(@expected_messages.size)} prohibited this user from being saved"
return false unless actual_page.has_content?(expected_error_count_msg)
actual_page.within "ul" do
@expected_messages.each do |msg|
return false unless actual_page.has_selector?("li", text: msg)
end
end
end
true
end
end
end
使用自定义匹配器简化测试代码：
# 传统断言
expect(page).to have_css("#error_explanation li", text: "Email can't be blank")
expect(page).to have_css("#error_explanation li", text: "Start on can't be blank")
# 自定义匹配器
expect(page).to have_error_messages("Email can't be blank", "Start on can't be blank")
测试数据管理策略
# spec/support/database_cleaner.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.use_transactional_fixtures = false
config.before(:suite) do
DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
end
config.before(:each) do
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
end
config.before(:each, type: :feature) do
if Capybara.current_driver == :rack_test
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :transaction
else
DatabaseCleaner.strategy = :truncation
end
end
config.before(:each) { DatabaseCleaner.start }
config.after(:each) { DatabaseCleaner.clean }
end
测试性能优化
- 并行测试执行：
bundle exec rspec --parallel
- 测试数据库连接池：
# config/database.yml
test:
pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
- Spring预加载：
bundle exec spring rspec
