Testing Password Reset Controller Integration in maybe-finance/maybe

This test suite validates the password reset functionality in a Ruby on Rails application using Minitest. It covers the complete password reset flow including request initiation, email delivery, and password update verification.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides comprehensive coverage of the password reset workflow:

New password reset request handling
Email delivery verification
Token validation and reset form access
Password update completion

Integration points include user authentication, email delivery system, and session management.

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest for end-to-end validation of the password reset flow. It employs fixtures for user data setup and leverages Rails’ built-in assert_enqueued_emails for email delivery verification.

The implementation follows RESTful conventions with distinct test methods for new, create, edit, and update actions.

Technical Details

Testing Framework: Minitest
Integration Tools: ActionDispatch
Fixtures: User model fixtures
Authentication: Token-based verification
Email Testing: ActiveJob assertion helpers

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test suite exemplifies several testing best practices including isolated setup using fixtures, explicit assertion checks, and comprehensive workflow coverage. Each action is tested independently with clear success criteria and proper HTTP response validation.

The code organization follows the standard controller test structure with setup and individual test methods for each action.
