I'm quite new to rails, but I seem to be facing an issue I cannot solve. I am trying to test a background job that will create a new record and use it later to instanciate a new service.
As I am testing a background job, it seems that I shoud be making a double of this service BEFORE the test, but one of the parameters is created whithin the job, using another record that is created whithin the job as a reference. Hence, there will always be one difference in terms of ID everytime I try to run it.
Here is the sample code :
RSpec.describe UpdateVideoPerfDatasJob, :type => :job do
it { expect(described_class).to be < ActiveJob::Base }
context '#perform' do
let (:split_test) { create(:split_test_for_result_slot) }
let(:adwords_account) { split_test.adwords_account }
let(:user) { split_test.adwords_account.user }
let(:report_service) { instance_double('VideoPerformanceReportBis') }
let(:api_service) { instance_double('GoogleAdsApiWrapper') }
let(:campaigns_datas) { '#2 Api called...' }
let(:segments_datas) { '#3 Api called...' }
let(:data) { '#4 Global Array Created' }
before do
allow(VideoPerformanceReportBis).to receive(:new).with(split_test: split_test, adwords_account: adwords_account, user: user, result_slot: result_slot).and_return(report_service)
allow(GoogleAdsApiWrapper).to receive(:new).with(adwords_account: adwords_account, user: user).and_return(api_service)
allow(report_service).to receive(:refresh).with(no_args).and_return('#1 Refresh method')
allow(report_service).to receive(:call_api_campaigns).with(no_args).and_return(campaigns_datas)
allow(api_service).to receive(:get_campaigns).with(no_args).and_return('...and campaign gotten !')
allow(report_service).to receive(:call_api_segments).with(no_args).and_return(segments_datas)
allow(api_service).to receive(:get_campaigns_segments).with(no_args).and_return('... and segments gotten !')
allow(report_service).to receive(:create_global_array).with(campaigns_datas, segments_datas).and_return(data)
allow(report_service).to receive(:update).with(data).and_return('#5 update data')
class UpdateVideoPerfDatasJob < ApplicationJob
def perform(split_test:, adwords_account:, user:)
logger.warn 'Updating video performance data'
history_log = HistoryLog.create(
split_test: split_test,
user: user,
adwords_account: adwords_account,
operation: 'Update vidéo performance data',
messages: '',
status: 'Initiated'
)
result_slot = ResultSlot.create(
split_test: split_test,
history_log: history_log,
)
result_slot.previous_result_slot_id = split_test.result_slot.id unless split_test.result_slot.nil?
report_service = VideoPerformanceReportBis.new(
split_test: split_test,
adwords_account: adwords_account,
user: user,
result_slot: result_slot
)
response = report_service.refresh
history_log.update!(
messages: "Data updated on #{Date.today}",
status: 'Video performance data updated'
)
NotificationsChannel.broadcast_to user, 'Finished Update Video Performance Data Worker'
end
end
As you can see, the VideoPerformanceReportService is using a result_slot as parameter, that is created inside the job, using an history_log (also created inside the job) as a reference.
How can I test this ?
(Thank you in advance for everyone helping)
