Not actually touching alt style yet, just the very basic stuff about
how alt style can cause loading to fail in certain extremely rare cases
(specifically, if it's our first time seeing the underlying
color/species combo too, which… isn't gonna happen irl on DTI for a long
time if ever, I would guess, but hey!)
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!
