That is, if everything is the same as before, we don't need to change
anything in our database!
I also learned a bit more about RSpec syntax sugars, it's cute!
I want to not turn it off entirely, so that if there's a nasty one it
becomes visible, but we don't need all that vertical space for this
small test suite rn!
I forget, there was some tricky debugging about getting the fixtures
right, I think the previous commit doesn't *actually* pass from a clean
setting. Ah well, looks good now!
Just getting a basic foothold here. I'm thinking about moving this to
RSpec, cuz I feel like the assertions are gonna get pretty specific
and groupable.
I'm gonna work on adding modeling tests, and I want to not be breaking
them without realizing! The trade history ones are good to be checking
more often like this, too.
In 540ce08caa, I updated the Item class
to be more explicit about what fields are required, so this test would
fail in a more helpful way, instead of just crashing from `name` being
`nil` when trying to infer the Dyeworks info.
Now, we update the test to use Rails's standard "fixture" system to set
up a more-correct placeholder item, instead!
Catch missing fields in validation before sending it to the DB, and
skip the Dyeworks stuff if the name is missing.
I ran into this looking into `test/trade_activity_test.rb`, which fails
right now because we try to create a boring placeholder item with
minimal fields, which Dyeworks can't call `name.match()` on!
Now, the test fails with a more helpful error about the item being
invalid. Next, I'll fix that!
Just getting this stuff out of Pet, in part because I want to start
being able to unit test modeling, and that will require stubbing out
what this service returns!
Just a bit more clarity of grouping! I'm also thinking about extracting
modeling APIs into a service file like this too, in which case I think
this would help clarify what it is.
They're not all Nostalgic anymore! Oh, how the times have changed!
This way, new ones will appear as "<New?>", until support staff come in
and label them (with our cool new tools!)
Whoops, I didn't realize this change I made to validation for the alt
style editing form, was goofing up alt style modeling!
The trick is, the validation was happening before the `before_create`
hook. Now I've reformulated these as `before_validation` hooks, so
we're not rejecting new alt styles for having no thumbnail!
