Implementing the Edit Tags User Story

George must be able to go back to a book that he has added to the system and edit the details, including removing and adding tags. The edit book page uses the same_form.rhtml partial as we used for the add book page. This means that most of the work has already been done in the previous section. The only part of the code we need to change is the controller. As usual, we will start by creating the integration test.

Updating the Integration Test

Change thetest_book_administrationmethod in the integration testtest/integration/ book_test.rb. Add thetagsparameters to the line that starts withgeorge.edit_book, as shown here:

  george.edit_book(ruby_for_dummies, :tags => 'Toddlers', :book => {
    :title => 'Ruby for Toddlers',
    :publisher_id => publisher.id,
    :author_ids => [author.id],
    :published_at => Time.now,
    :isbn => '123-123-123-X',
    :blurb => 'The best book released since "Eating for Toddlers"',
    :page_count => 123,
    :price => 40.4
  })

Also change the implementation ofedit_bookDSL method as follows:

def edit_book(book, parameters)
  get "/admin/book/edit/#{book.id}"
  assert_response :success
  assert_template "admin/book/edit"

  post "/admin/book/update/#{book.id}", parameters
  assert_response :redirect
  follow_redirect!
  assert_response :success
  assert_template "admin/book/show"

  book.reload
  assert_equal parameters[:tags].split(',').size, book.tags.size
end

Note that we reload thebookobject from the database, before we check that the tags have been updated.

Run the test, and you should see it fail with the following error message:

--------------------------------------------
<1> expected but was
<3>.
--------------------------------------------

You get the error because we haven’t yet modified the controller.
