Problem testing Alloy controllers based on alloy-unit-test

gistfile1.js

it('create with 2 items', function () {
      item.set({
          title: "The cloud atlas",
          author: "David Mitchell"
      });
      item.save();
  
      item.set({
          title: "Design of design",
          author: "Brooks"
      });
      item.save();
  
    $ = Alloy.createController('index', {});

    Ti.API.info(JSON.stringify($.table.getData()))
    expect($.table.getData().length).toEqual(2);
});

Hi, iampeterbanjo

There are two changes that have to be made.

One is to fix the assert, I've seen that you can get the data with the getSections() method
The other is that in order to add 2 items, we need 2 different variables, if not it returns only 1 item in the table view.

I'll fix the blog post with those two fixes.

The resulting code will be

    it('create with 2 items', function () {
        item.set({
            title: "The cloud atlas",
            author: "David Mitchell"
        });
        item.save();

        var item2 = Alloy.createModel('book');
        item2.set({
            title: "Design of design",
            author: "Brooks"
        });
        item2.save();

        $ = Alloy.createController('index', {});

        expect($.table.getSections()[0].rowCount).toEqual(2);
    });

Thanks! That works :-)
