Get access to ember store from moduleFor("controller:activity")

[gogogarrett]

I'm trying to get a hold of the store instance to .createRecord('activity', {id: '1_1'}) inside my test, but I can't seem to make it happen. Anyone have any ideas?

I've tried a few different things here

I managed to get a store class, but it's not working as I would like by doing something like..

moduleFor "controller:activity", "Activity Controller"

test "does things", ->
  @container.register "store:main", DS.Store
  store = @container.lookup("store:main")


  Ember.run ->
    activity = store.createRecord('activity', {id: '1_1'})
    ctrl.set 'content', activity


  equal 1,1

but even this doesn't create the activity record as desired.

You might need to pass needs: "store:main", "model:activity" as the last argument to moduleFor

@gogogarrett I've been using store = App.__container__.lookup('store:main') to grab a reference to the store. Which seems to work for your test.

we need a integration testing mode.

Is there any way use "store" in controller and then tested id without use store = App.container.lookup('store:main') ?
For example
moduleFor "controller:activity", "Activity Controller"
test "does things", ->
ctrl = @subject()

where ctrl.get('store') is not undefined

[stefanpenner]

You can pass a store mock or instance to subject

Yes, I solved this by creating

var store = DS.Store.create({
    adapter: this.subject()
})

And it works just fine.

@isenbeqiri not sure how your solution applies to the OP's issue? this.subject() in his case would be a controller instance, not an adapter.

@stefanpenner this could probably be closed in favour of https://github.com/rwjblue/ember-qunit/issues/108.
