Testing Wicked with RSpec

This is probably the not the most elegant solution, but I found a way to test Wicked with RSpec and Factory_Girl

In my application model that uses Wicked I have something like this:

class UserApplication < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessor :current_step
  attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name, :email, :address_line_1, :address_line_2, :city, :zip


  validates :first_name, presence: true, length: { minimum: 2, maximum: 25 }, if: :step_name?
  validates :last_name, presence: true, length: { minimum: 2, maximum: 25 }, if: :step_name?

  validates :address_line_1, presence: true, length: { maximum: 150 }, if: :step_address?
  validates :city, presence: true, length: { maximum: 25 }, if: :step_address?
  validates :state, presence: true, length: { maximum: 2 }, if: :step_address?

  validates :email, presence: true, format: { with: VALID_EMAIL_REGEX }, if: :step_email?

  def step_name?
    current_step == :name
  end

  def step_address?
    current_step == :address
  end

  def step_email?
    current_step == :email
  end
end

Basically a bunch of validations that get triggered depending on the current_step that the wizard form is on. I have three steps in my wizard: name, address and email.

I found success with a factory like this:

FactoryGirl.define do 
  factory :application do
    current_step :email
    first_name 'Dirk'
    last_name 'Diggler'
    mobile_number '1234567890'
    email '[email protected]'
    address_line_1 '123 Maple Street'
    address_line_2 ''
    dob '01/01/2001'
    ssn '123456789'
    city 'Las Vegas'
    app_password 'abcd1234A'
  end
end

Because I now defined current_step in my factory I can now set and do validations like this:

describe Application, focus: true do

  it "should have a valid factory" do
    build(:application).should be_valid
  end
  
  context "validations" do

    describe "application_steps/name" do

      subject(:user) {create(:application, current_step: :name)}

      it "should validate first name with a 2-35 letter string" do
        ["", "a", "I"].each do |word|
          user.first_name = word
          user.should_not be_valid
        end
        user.first_name = "ab"
        user.should be_valid
      end

      it "should validate last name with a 2-35 letter string" do
        user.last_name = ""
        user.should_not be_valid
      end

    end
  end

    describe "application_steps/address" do

      subject(:user) {create(:application, current_step: :address)}

      it "should validate address" do
        ["", "a", "I"].each do |word|
          user.address = word
          user.should_not be_valid
        end
        user.address = "ab"
        user.should be_valid
      end

    end
  end

end

And so on. Obvi my tests aren't complete, but at least I got the gist of testing validations pending where the forms are in my Wicked wizard.
