Hello everyone, I’m a beginner programmer, I can’t write a Test, can you please tell me!?

given a function, you need to write a test for it:

def add_driver_incident_message(%{driver_incident_id: driver_incident_id, body: body}) do
  %{driver_incident_id: driver_incident_id, body: body}
  |> DriverIncidentMessage.changeset()
  |> Repo.insert()
end

Thanks! :smiley:

Hi!

Would you mind telling us, what you have tried so far?

And what you actually want to test?

check whether the driver incident message adds

  test "add_driver_incident_message/2 returns a driver_incident changeset
    driver_incident = Factory.insert!(:driver_incident)

    assert {:ok, %DriverIncidentMessage{}} =
             Incidents.add_driver_incident_message(%{driver_incident_id: driver_incident_id, body: body})
      
    returned_driver_incident =
      Incidents.add_driver_incident_message(%{driver_incident_id: driver_incident_id, body: body})
  end
  • Factory
  def make(:driver_incident, fields) do
    fields
    |> put_new_field(:id, lazy(make_id()))
    |> put_new_field(:ride, lazy(make(:ride)))
    |> put_new_field(:ride_id, & &1.ride.id)
    |> Map.put_new(:messages, [])
    |> create_struct(DriverIncident)
  end

That test is missing:

  • a closing double quote for the label
  • an opening do after the label
  • a closing end after the test.

Also the final assignment in the test has no real use, as the value is forgotten right at the end of the test.

If those mentioned problems are not the actual problems you have with the test, please describe your problem in more detail.

we have, incident id and text from passenger (body)

need to check:
with data (driver_incident_id: driver_incident_id, body: body)
uploaded to repository > Repo.insert().

with valid data creates an incident message, if the data is not correct it shows an error

I didn’t write the test correctly, maybe.

Well at the end of your test you can just get the driver incident object from the DB and check if the fields match the data in the earlier stage (that you used to insert it with).
