Interaction with app from rails console |
25 |
Logesh |
We can interact with the app from console to imitate the real user action without a browser or server |
The app object can also issue faux requests into your app, mimicing what a real user might do. We tend not to do this very often, but it can be quite useful for one-off interactions with the app from the console. The best part is that no browser or server is required.
Here's a quick test drive to give you a feel for what's possible:
>> app.get "/movies"
=> 200
>> app.get "/users/1"
=> 302
>> app.response.redirect_url
=> "http://www.example.com/session/new"
>> app.post "/session", email: '[email protected]', password: 'secret'
=> 302
>> app.response.redirect_url
=> "http://www.example.com/users/1"
>> app.session[:user_id]
=> 7For more details on the methods you can call on the app object to issue requests, check out the ActionDispatch::Integration::RequestHelpers documentation.
