[RSpec] What I got stuck when I wrote the mailer (password reset process) test

Recently, I've become accustomed to RSpec, and I've been alert, but I've got an error I've never seen, and I'm a little stuck, so I'd like to share it here. This is the story when I wrote a mailer (password reset process) test in the request specs!

I got an error like this. Apparently, RSpec doesn't encode the email body correctly, so the test fails because it doesn't match the expected value.

solution

When I made the password reset token, it was encoded using Base64, so I put it back and compared it. (Decode)

password_resets_request_spec.rb


RSpec.describe UserMailer, type: :mailer do
  let(:user) { FactoryBot.create(:user, email: '[email protected]') }

  describe "Password reset process" do
    let(:mail) { UserMailer.password_reset(user) }
    #Base64 encode can be decoded and compared
    let(:mail_body) { mail.body.encoded.split(/\r\n/).map{|i| Base64.decode64(i)}.join }

    it "The header is displayed correctly" do
      user.reset_token = User.new_token
      expect(mail.to).to eq ["[email protected]"]
      expect(mail.from).to eq ["[email protected]"]
      expect(mail.subject).to eq "Password Reset"
    end

    #Email preview test
    it "The email text is displayed correctly" do
      user.reset_token = User.new_token
      expect(mail_body).to match user.reset_token
      expect(mail_body).to match CGI.escape(user.email)
    end
  end
end

Thank you for reading to the end!

Actually, it took me a while to get to this information, so I wrote it as an article.

I hope you can help those who are in trouble in the same place! If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it if you could comment.
