Testing INET Field Type Configuration in Rails Admin

This test suite validates the INET field type implementation in Rails Admin, ensuring proper handling of IP address data types. The specs verify the field type’s integration with Rails Admin’s configuration system and validate its behavior matches string field expectations.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides focused coverage of the INET field type functionality in Rails Admin.

Validates INET field type behavior against string field specifications
Tests field type registration and configuration
Ensures compatibility with PostgreSQL INET data type

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes RSpec’s shared examples pattern to validate the INET field type implementation. The specs leverage the ‘it_behaves_like’ construct to reuse string field type test cases, ensuring consistent behavior and reducing code duplication.

Uses shared example groups for standardized field testing
Implements behavior-driven development principles
Maintains test consistency across field types
