Day 28 如何撰寫表徵測試

該文章同步發佈於:我的部落格

也歡迎關注我的 Facebook 以及 Instagram 接收軟體相關的資訊!

什麼是表徵測試以及解決的問題是什麼?

假如我遇到一段想重構的代碼,但不幸的是:

  1. 我甚至看不懂他在幹嘛
  2. 他也沒有被測試給覆蓋

重構自己不理解的程式碼是有巨大的風險的,而且問題來了,如果我不知道他是做什麼的,那我要怎麼幫這段代碼寫測試呢?

有一個有趣的東西叫做:表徵測試,我是之前讀文章的時候看到的,他讓解決難題變得直接和簡單,等等會用一些簡單的範例做示範!

假設情境

假設這是一段舊專案的程式碼。

下面的兩個方法 services_with_info & products_with_info 有幾個問題。一個是他們具有很大的重複性,還有這兩個方法其實並沒有真正的幫助,這兩個方法應該可以放到其他地方去,讓 Appointment 專注當一個 Appointment 的 Model,不必把 appointment_services & appointment_products 序列a化的過程放進來。

class Appointment < ActiveRecord::Base
  def services_with_info
    services.collect { |item|
      item.serializable_hash.merge(
        "price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
        "label": item.service.name,
        "item_id": item.service.id,
        "type": "service"
      )
    }
  end

  def products_with_info
    products.collect { |item|
      item.serializable_hash.merge(
        "price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
        "label": item.product.name,
        "item_id": item.product.id,
        "type": "product"
      )
    }
  end
end

重構 services_with_info

這兩個方法中,我們先把目光放在 services_with_info,我的目標是抽離這個方法,創立一個抽象的概念,然後把主體移過去那邊。

重構時可能可以第一次就想到一個很棒的抽象概念,也可能不不行。我們可以先試試看一個抽象概念叫做 Appointment::ServiceCollection 的新類別。

下面是這個類別,目前做的就只是把 services_with_info 的內容複製貼上過來而已。

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      @services.to_h { |item|
        item.serializable_hash.merge(
          "price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
          "label": item.service.name,
          "item_id": item.service.id,
          "type": "service"
        )
      }
    end
  end
end

第一目標:簡單的實體化物件

當開始為這個新類別寫測試時,盡可能投入較少的經歷,先問自己一個問題,這個 ServiceCollection 能夠實體化物件嗎?

RSpec.describe Appointment::ServiceCollection do
  describe '#to_h' do
    it 'works' do
      appointment_service = create(:appointment_service)
      collection = Appointment::ServiceCollection.new([appointment_service])
    end
  end
end

第二目標:被測試的方法能夠回傳值嗎?

剛剛的測試通過後,下一步將是期待一個看起來有點蠢的東西

RSpec.describe Appointment::ServiceCollection do
  describe '#to_h' do
    it 'works' do
      appointment_service = create(:appointment_service)
      collection = Appointment::ServiceCollection.new([appointment_service])
      expect(collection.to_h).to eq('asdf')
    end
  end
end

我當然知道 collection.to_h 不會等於 'asdf',但我不知道他等於什麼,所以任何的回傳值都會是錯誤。完全沒必要花心思去猜他會回傳什麼,反正測試結果會告訴我!

F

Failures:

  1) Appointment::ServiceCollection#to_h works
     Failure/Error: expect(collection.to_h).to eq('asdf')
     TypeError:
       wrong element type AppointmentService at 0 (expected array)
     # ./app/models/appointment/service_collection.rb:7:in `to_h'
     # ./app/models/appointment/service_collection.rb:7:in `to_h'
     # ./spec/models/appointment/service_collection_spec.rb:8:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.50943 seconds (files took 3.44 seconds to load)
1 example, 1 failure

因為是重構一個不知道會回傳什麼的方法,所以錯誤很正常,我們可以嘗試把程式碼註解掉。

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      @services.to_h { |item|
        #item.serializable_hash.merge(
          #"price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
          #"label": item.service.name,
          #"item_id": item.service.id,
          #"type": "service"
        #)
      }
    end
  end
end

結果還是錯誤,那我們就註解掉更多的程式碼看看

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      #@services.to_h { |item|
        #item.serializable_hash.merge(
          #"price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
          #"label": item.service.name,
          #"item_id": item.service.id,
          #"type": "service"
        #)
      #}
    end
  end
end

沒有太意外的還是錯誤,但結果改變了~

F

Failures:

  1) Appointment::ServiceCollection#to_h works
     Failure/Error: expect(collection.to_h).to eq('asdf')
       
       expected: "asdf"
            got: nil
       
       (compared using ==)
     # ./spec/models/appointment/service_collection_spec.rb:8:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>'

Finished in 0.49608 seconds (files took 3.41 seconds to load)
1 example, 1 failure

很明顯,問題出在 #@appointment_services.to_h { |item| 這行。問題大概是出在 to_h 身上,那我試著用 map 代替呢?

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      @services.map { |item|
        #item.serializable_hash.merge(
          #"price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
          #"label": item.service.name,
          #"item_id": item.service.id,
          #"type": "service"
        #)
      }
    end
  end
end

成功了,這樣沒有得到像之前 wrong element type 的錯誤,而是不一樣的,更符合我們想看到的東西。

F

Failures:

  1) Appointment::ServiceCollection#to_h works
     Failure/Error: expect(collection.to_h).to eq('asdf')
       
       expected: "asdf"
            got: [nil]

Finished in 0.48778 seconds (files took 3.5 seconds to load)
1 example, 1 failure

現在讓我把之前的註解都全部拔掉看看會怎麼樣~

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      @services.map { |item|
        item.serializable_hash.merge(
          "price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
          "label": item.service.name,
          "item_id": item.service.id,
          "type": "service"
        )
      }
    end
  end
end

出現另一個不同的錯誤,說找不到 number_with_precision 這個方法

F

Failures:

  1) Appointment::ServiceCollection#to_h works
     Failure/Error: expect(collection.to_h).to eq('asdf')
     NoMethodError:

Finished in 0.52793 seconds (files took 3.32 seconds to load)
1 example, 1 failure

剛好我們可以透過 Rails API 之後這個方法是放在哪裡,如果要在我們獨創的類別中使用,我們要 include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper 進來用。

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
  include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper
 
    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      @services.map { |item|
        item.serializable_hash.merge(
          "price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
          "label": item.service.name,
          "item_id": item.service.id,
          "type": "service"
        )
      }
    end
  end
end

回傳的 value

處理完這個問題後,我們終於可以看到回傳的結果是什麼了

看到回傳的結果真的很有趣,因為這是在重構一個舊專案,所以看到回傳值的時候就覺得好像要解開秘密了~

使用更直接的 Expectation

我們要用更現實的數值來進行測試。我知道測試會失敗,因為數值是隨意捏造的。

RSpec.describe Appointment::ServiceCollection do
  describe '#to_h' do
    it 'works' do
      appointment_service = create(:appointment_service)
      collection = Appointment::ServiceCollection.new([appointment_service])
      
      item = collection.to_h.first
      expect(item['price']).to eq('30.00')
      expect(item['label']).to eq('Robert Chang')
      expect(item['item_id']).to eq(appointment_service.item.id)
      expect(item['type']).to eq('service')
    end
  end
end

這在執行測試是為了讓我的測試設置更符合我們期待的值!

RSpec.describe Appointment::ServiceCollection do
  describe '#to_h' do
    it 'works' do
      appointment_service = create(
        :appointment_service, 
        price: 30,
        service: create(:service, name: 'Robert Change'))
        
      collection = Appointment::ServiceCollection.new([appointment_service])
      
      item = collection.to_h.first
      expect(item['price']).to eq('30.00')
      expect(item['label']).to eq('Robert Chang')
      expect(item['item_id']).to eq(appointment_service.item.id)
      expect(item['type']).to eq('service')
    end
  end
end

測試通過後,我要做什麼?

現在測試通過了,到目前為止,我們盡可能減少接觸原本程式碼的機會,因為我想最大限度的保留原本功能。現在我有了測試,我的測試可以保有原本的功能,而且我還可以自由地重構這段程式碼!

module Appointment
  class ServiceCollection
    include ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper
    ITEM_TYPE = 'service'

    def initialize(services)
      @services = services
    end

    def to_h
      @services.map do |service|
        service.serializable_hash.merge(extra_attributes(service))
      end
    end

    private

    def extra_attributes(service)
      {
        'price'   => number_with_precision(service.price, precision: 2),
        'label'   => service.service.name,
        'item_id' => service.service.id,
        'type'    => ITEM_TYPE
      }
    end
  end
end

順便來整理一下測試的代碼:

RSpec.describe Appointment::ServiceCollection do
  describe '#to_h' do
    let(:appointment_service) do
      create(
        :appointment_service,
        price: 30,
        service: create(:service, name: 'Robert Chang')
      )
    end

    let(:item) { Appointment::ServiceCollection.new([appointment_service]).to_h.first }

    it 'adds the right attributes' do
      expect(item['price']).to eq('30.00')
      expect(item['label']).to eq('Robert Chang')
      expect(item['item_id']).to eq(appointment_service.service.id)
      expect(item['type']).to eq('service')
    end
  end
end

最後,我們就可以用我們新做的類別來取代原先的程式碼:

# 原本的

def services_with_info
    services.collect { |item|
      item.serializable_hash.merge(
        "price": number_with_precision(item.price, precision: 2),
        "label": item.service.name,
        "item_id": item.service.id,
        "type": "service"
      )
    }
end

# 現在的

def services_with_info
  Appointment::ServiceCollection.new(services).to_h
end

小結

這在重構的路上可以說是杯水車薪,但現在我們已經減少了很多的程式碼,因為其實 Rails 的 MVC 也沒有那麼夠用,並不是真的讓 Model 肥就是好,像這種取得資訊的方法,我們說不定可以把它全部拉出來整理!

但至少我們今天也知道了,如果一段程式碼他沒有測試,而且你還不知道他會回傳什麼的時候,嘗試看看這個表徵測試的方法,一步一步的找到能夠整理的邏輯,並且同時補上測試!
