Gon::JBuilder and URL helpers about gon HOT 14 CLOSED

Hello, thanks for issue.
Yes, now I eval code of jBuilder templates inside JbuilderTemplate#encode method without including there any rails helpers. I'll add it later.

from gon.

You can workaround this issue by adding this code in your config/initializers:

module Gon
  module Jbuilder
    class << self
      include Rails.application.routes.url_helpers
    end
  end
end

from gon.

I think not only routes helpers needed here. All ActionView::Helpers should be included

from gon.

Yes! I think the custom helpers like ApplicationHelper should be included too. I haven't found how to do that automatically using controller variable inside Gon::Jbuilder#parse_jbuilder. If I found, I'll submit a pull request.

from gon.

Specs also does not seem to work. #get_controller fails to find any controller.

For now using this hack:

Gon::Base.expects(:get_controller).returns(controller).at_least(1)

from gon.

@dziulius hello, what do you mean? what specs doesn't work?

from gon.

btw in v3.0.4 all helpers, include route helpers are works as I tested. I'll write new tests for it now, but I think this issue solved

from gon.

in controller specs, i get
NoMethodError: undefined method `controller_path' for nil:NilClass
error unless i stub controller.

from gon.

Ive the same problem as @dziulius.
Rspec blows up with this:
NoMethodError: undefined method `controller_path' for nil:NilClass

from gon.

Me too: Rspec controller specs for methods that call gon.rabl fail with that error.

from gon.

Hello, can someone help me with this issue - can you provide sample application with failing spec? Then I'll fix it asap :) Thank you all!

from gon.

Awesome, @gazay, thanks for the help! I've created a minimal app that reproduces the issue: [email protected]:KrisBraun/gon-rabl-rspec.git

Should be as simple as sync, bundle install, rspec, boom.

from gon.

It's pretty clear what to do here - there not real request goes to gon from rspec - TestRequest goes. So there should be done some switch for env.test?. It's different issue, so I'll close this one and open new one for testing environment case.

from gon.

Workaround suggested at #124 seems to fix NoMethodError: undefined method``controller_path' for nil:NilClass problem. I do this in my ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_filter :set_up_gon
  after_filter :clear_gon

  def set_up_gon
    env['action_controller.instance'] = self
  end

  def clear_gon
    Thread.current['gon'] = nil
  end
end
