def test_errors_aref
  assert_respond_to model, :errors
  assert model.errors[:hello].is_a?(Array), "errors#[] should return an Array"
end

Passes if the object's model responds to errors and if calling [](attribute) on the result of this method returns an array. Fails otherwise.

errors[attribute] is used to retrieve the errors of a model for a given attribute. If errors are present, the method should return an array of strings that are the errors for the attribute in question. If localization is used, the strings should be localized for the current locale. If no error is present, the method should return an empty array.

  assert_respond_to model_name.plural, :to_str

  assert_respond_to model, :model_name
  assert_equal model.model_name, model.class.model_name
end

Passes if the object's model responds to model_name both as an instance method and as a class method, and if calling this method returns a string with some convenience methods: :human, :singular and :plural.

Check ActiveModel::Naming for more information.

def test_persisted?
  assert_respond_to model, :persisted?
  assert_boolean model.persisted?, "persisted?"
end

Passes if the object's model responds to persisted? and if calling this method returns either true or false. Fails otherwise.

persisted? is used when calculating the URL for an object. If the object is not persisted, a form for that object, for instance, will route to the create action. If it is persisted, a form for the object will route to the update action.

def test_to_key
  assert_respond_to model, :to_key
  def model.persisted?() false end
  assert model.to_key.nil?, "to_key should return nil when `persisted?` returns false"
end

Passes if the object's model responds to to_key and if calling this method returns nil when the object is not persisted. Fails otherwise.

to_key returns an Enumerable of all (primary) key attributes of the model, and is used to a generate unique DOM id for the object.

def test_to_param
  assert_respond_to model, :to_param
  def model.to_key() [1] end
  def model.persisted?() false end
  assert model.to_param.nil?, "to_param should return nil when `persisted?` returns false"
end

Passes if the object's model responds to to_param and if calling this method returns nil when the object is not persisted. Fails otherwise.

to_param is used to represent the object's key in URLs. Implementers can decide to either raise an exception or provide a default in case the record uses a composite primary key. There are no tests for this behavior in lint because it doesn't make sense to force any of the possible implementation strategies on the implementer.

def test_to_partial_path
  assert_respond_to model, :to_partial_path
  assert_kind_of String, model.to_partial_path
end

Passes if the object's model responds to to_partial_path and if calling this method returns a string. Fails otherwise.

to_partial_path is used for looking up partials. For example, a BlogPost model might return “blog_posts/blog_post”.
