No Meals

‹prev | My Chain | next›

Having played a bit with meals, I got to wondering what would happen with the recipe couchdb-lucene index if meals were added to the DB. Rather than wonder about it, I'm going to prove it:

    Scenario: Searching recipes with meals and other things in the DB

      Given 5 "Yummy" recipes
      And 1 "Yummy" meal
      And 1 "About this site" document with the word "Yummy" in it
      And a 0.5 second wait to allow the search index to be updated
      When I search for "yummy"
      Then I should see 5 results

Most of these steps are already implemented, but the meal and "About this site" steps are not. They can be defined as:

Given /^(\d+) "([^\"]*)" meals?$/ do |count, keyword|
  date = Date.new(2008, 5, 12)

  (1..count.to_i).each do |i|
    permalink = "id-#{date.to_s}"

    meal = {
      :title       => "#{keyword} meal #{i}",
      :date        => date + i,
      :serves      => i,
      :summary     => "#{keyword} summary",
      :description => "#{keyword} description"
    }

    RestClient.put "#{@@db}/#{permalink}",
      meal.to_json,
      :content_type => 'application/json'
  end
end

Given /^1 "([^\"]*)" document with the word "([^\"]*)" in it$/ do |arg1, arg2|
  permalink = "id-#{arg1.gsub(/\W/, '-')}"

  doc = {
    :title   => arg1,
    :content => arg2
  }

  RestClient.put "#{@@db}/#{permalink}",
    doc.to_json,
    :content_type => 'application/json'
end

Running the scenario generates a big old ball of fail, as expected. Nothing is preventing these new documents from being added to the couchdb-lucene index, but I do not want them in there. I only want to search recipes.

A simple conditional in the indexing javascipt function will do the trick:

  if (doc['preparations']) {
...
  }

The conditional exploits the lack of a prepartions attribute in any document other than recipes. Effectively, I index a document only if it quack likes a recipe.

With that, I have my new scenario completely passing:

cstrom@jaynestown:~/repos/eee-code$ cucumber -n features \
    -s "Searching recipes with meals and other things in the DB"
Feature: Search for recipes

  So that I can find one recipe among many
  As a web user
  I want to be able search recipes

  Scenario: Searching recipes with meals and other things in the DB
    Given 5 "Yummy" recipes
    And 1 "Yummy" meal
    And 1 "About this site" document with the word "Yummy" in it
    And a 0.5 second wait to allow the search index to be updated
    When I search for "yummy"
    Then I should see 5 results

Before committing, some older scenarios needed adjustment to ensure that simple recipe documents that they were creating also quacked like a recipe.
