Specfactor is a gem that generates commonly used tests for commonly used controller actions.
Specfactor is dependent on these gems:
rspec-rails
activesupport
factory_bot_rails
Provided you are developing on Rails, activesupport should be included by default. Specfactor generates tests that utilize factories, and so FactoryBot is recommended. Otherwise, simply comment out/delete parts of the tests you don't want to use.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'specfactor'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install specfactor
In terminal, type
specfactor
This will prompt you to enter the name of the controller, such as "users_controller", which will produce a "users_controller_spec.rb" file under "spec/controllers" if it does not already exist.
After entering the name, Specfactor will ask for the names of actions you'd like to generate tests for. SF can generate all common RESTful action tests such as :index, :show, :new, :create, :edit, :update, and :destroy.
