Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe a custom model method you wrote.	I wrote a method for the Work model that was able to determine a spotlight work. It did so by checking the length of the votes array for works across each type of category.
Describe how you approached testing that model method. What edge cases did you come up with?	I made sure that the spotlight method raised errors if attempted to be used with hashes that did not contain works. I originally had the method set up so that it would return a spotlight without an argument, but I changed it so that it could be more easily tested.
Describe an edge case test you wrote for a controller	It should render a 404 page if a user attempts to delete a work that does not exist.
What are `session` and `flash`? What is the difference between them?	They are both temporary hash-like objects. Flash stores information that you could present to the user to inform them of successes and errors. Flash notices only exist through the following request. Sessions are stored in a browser's cookies and exist for as long as the browser window is open.
Describe a controller filter you wrote.	In the application controller, before any action is acted upon, the application searches to see if a user is logged in. If they are logged in, that user is assigned to an instance variable.
What was one thing that you gained more clarity on through this assignment?	Controller testing! Building the application became much more manageable once returning to the pseudocode-red-green-refactor cycle.
What is the Heroku URL of your deployed application	https://gm-media-ranker.herokuapp.com/ (However, I am getting a 503 status code at the moment...)
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	I believe this one would have been more appropriate as a pair project, as opposed to ride-share.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene	Good number of commit and commit messages
Comprehension questions	Check, I agree the compressed week made this individual project more difficult.
General
Rails fundamentals (RESTful routing, use of named paths)	Good RESTful routes
Semantic HTML	Good Semantic HTML
Errors are reported to the user	Check, although now I see that you're using OAuth, I can't check trying to delete a work without logging in, or upvoting
Business logic lives in the models	You've got some, but I think you should have sorting works in categories by their number of votes in the Model.
Models are thoroughly tested, including relations, validations and any custom logic	You've got tests, but some are failing (2). I also left some notes in your code.
Controllers are thoroughly tested	You need to include status codes in some of your controller tests. Also some more edge-case testing, but overall pretty good. I left some notes in your code. However I had 17 tests failing and 15 errors... Lots of things like unknown paths, and incorrect status codes etc. That seems to be because you're adding OAuth to your project locally. Probably should get your tests to pass in a branch before merging it into master.
Wave 1 - Media
Splash page shows the three media categories	Check
Basic CRUD operations on media are present and functional	Check
Wave 2 - Users and Votes
Users can log in and log out	Check
The ID of the current user is stored in the session	Check
Individual user pages and the user list are present	Check
A user cannot vote for the same media more than once	Check
All media lists are ordered by vote count	Check
Splash page contains a media spotlight	Check
Media pages contain lists of voting users	Check
Wave 3 - Styling
Foundation is used appropriately	Nicely done
Look and feel is similar to the original	Check
Overall	Well done. It seems you've added OAuth to your repo which made evaluating your tests difficult. I left some notes in your code. You hit most of the requirements with minor criticisms.

test/models/work_test.rb

+    output.must_be_instance_of Hash
+  end
+
+  it "should return values that are arrays" do


I would also test that they are in the proper order...

CheezItMan · 2017-10-18T19:43:34Z

app/models/work.rb

+  validates :title, presence: true
+  validates :title, uniqueness: true
+
+  def self.all_works_by_title


Shouldn't this be by the # of votes?

CheezItMan · 2017-10-18T19:46:17Z

test/models/vote_test.rb

+  let(:work) { Work.new }
+  let(:vote_1) { votes(:vote_1)}
+
+  it "must have a valid work and user to be valid" do


I would also add a test to verify that two votes can't have the same work_id and user_id.

So a user can't vote for the same work twice.

test/controllers/main_page_controller_test.rb

+describe MainPageController do
+  it "should get index" do
+    get main_page_index_url
+    value(response).must_be :success?


you could instead do:

must_respond_with :success

CheezItMan · 2017-10-18T20:29:15Z

test/controllers/sessions_controller_test.rb

+    post login_path, params: {username: "alyssa"}
+  }.must_change 'User.count', 1
+  must_respond_with :redirect
+  must_redirect_to root_path


I would also test:

id = find_by(username: 'alyssa').id id.must_equal session[:user_id]

CheezItMan · 2017-10-18T21:01:49Z

test/controllers/sessions_controller_test.rb

+  proc {
+    post login_path, params: {username: nil}
+  }.must_change 'User.count', 0
+  flash[:error].must_equal "User not logged in successfully"


Please use status codes.

test/controllers/sessions_controller_test.rb

+
+describe SessionsController do
+
+it "going to the login_form page is successful" do


Fix AUTOINDENT!

test/controllers/works_controller_test.rb

+    }.must_change 'Vote.count', 0
+    must_respond_with :redirect
+    must_redirect_to work_path(works(:anti).id)
+    flash[:error].must_equal "You've already upvoted this!"


I would also have a test voting for a work that doesn't exist, or voting if not logged in.
