Haven’t seen much on testing for the soundcloud gem. Most everything has been splendid – however I found that uploading files to SoundCloud through my specs is a bit tricky.<\/p>\n

Here’s the problem:<\/p>\n

spec:<\/p>\n

file = \"#{Rails.root}\/spec\/factories\/files\/sample.mp3\"\ntitle = \"From the test suite\"\ntrack = @client.post('\/tracks', track: {title: title, asset_data: File.new(file)})\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Whether or not I use<\/p>\n
File.new\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
or<\/p>\n
File.expand_path\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
the error is the same: NoMethodError: undefined method `map’ for #String:0x007fa1ce8425c0<\/strong><\/p>\n
The successful code in the controller is:<\/p>\n
file = params[\"soundcloud_file\"]\ntitle = params[\"title\"]\ntrack = client.post('\/tracks', track: {\n  title: title\n  asset_data: File.new(file.tempfile, 'rb')\n  })\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now I understand that params[“soundcloud_file”] is an ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile, so that’s what I’ve been attempting to work with for the past hour or so with no luck.<\/p>\n
I’m open to any way to successfully test an upload.<\/p>\n

    The problem was with the ‘webmock’ gem. Even using the required version for VCR (<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
