ruby on rails - Passing parameters for Testing Ransack Search output with RSpec 3 -

the first time use ransack searching. have controller this

class coursescontroller < applicationcontroller   def search         @q = post.joins(:events).where(status: true, publish: true)                                                         .where("events.status = 'available'")                                                         .search(params[:q])         @courses = @q.result.includes(:tagnames).to_a.uniq          render :index   end end 

in route.rb, included route

get 'posts/autocomplete_tag_or_subcategory', to: 'posts#get_suggestion_keywords', as: :list_suggestion 

and

 resources :courses, only: [:search]     collection       match 'search' => 'courses#search', via: [:get, :post], as: :search     end   end 

in view, have form field this

= search_form_for @q, url: search_courses_path, method: :post |f|    = f.search_field :title_or_description_or_tagnames_title_cont, { data: {autocomplete:  list_suggestion_path } } 

everything seems work correctly. thing that, dont know how pass parameters test case controller. have tried:

it "get records match key words"              :search, q: {title_or_description_or_tagnames_title_cont: 'math'}              expect(assigns_courses).to include math_course         end 

the whole rspec file

rspec.describe coursescontroller , type: :controller     describe "#search"         let!(:search_params) { 'math' }         let!(:tutor) { create :user, user_type: :tutor }         let!(:math_course) { create(:post, title: "math", user_id: tutor.id) }         let(:assigns_courses) { assigns(:courses) }      before { @request.env['devise.mapping'] = devise.mappings[:user] }     before { sign_in tutor }            "get records match key words"              :search, q: {title_or_description_or_tagnames_title_cont: 'math'}              expect(assigns_courses).to include math_course         end     end end 

and post model

class post < activerecord::base   scope :published, -> { where(status: true, publish: true) }   scope :get_post_by_tag_name, -> (tag_name) { where("lower(tags) ? ", "%#{ tag_name.downcase }%") }    belongs_to :category   belongs_to :sub_category   belongs_to :level   belongs_to :user   has_many   :events, dependent: :destroy 

.....

event model

class event < activerecord::base   extend enumerize    enumerize :status, in: [:available, :booked, :hidden], default: :available    belongs_to :post  end 

but incorrect because did not show wanted see. please give me pass params test case.

many thanks.

the gem ransack should not have bug , code looks correct me.

i recommend run test again get :search , see problem in first place (eg. maybe published not set, etc).
