E1551. Refactoring response_controller.rb

Expertiza

ResponseController

The ResponseController manages Responses.

Changes

Refactor latestResponseVersion method

Problem definition
latestResponseVersion is misnamed. It returns all versions of a response, and anyway, the method name should use underscores, not camelcase.

Rename get_scores

Problem definition
get_scores has a Java-like name. It should just be scores.

Delete rereview method

The 100+-line method rearview does not seem to be used anymore. The second-round review can be invoked in the same way as the first-round review. Remove it.

DRY create and update

create and update use completely different code. Factor the common parts out into a partial, thereby simplifying the methods.

Consistent authorization

Authorization needs to be checked in the action_allowed method instead of in redirect_when_disallowed at the bottom of the file. After you move the functionality, check to make sure that no one other than the author of a review (or another team member, in the case of author feedback) can edit it, then remove the redirect_when_disallowed method.

Refactor get_content

get_content is a complex method. It should be renamed to content and simplified. Comments should be added explaining what it does.

Remove SQL queries

This class contains SQL queries. Please change them to Active Record commands.

Tests

Contact: Ed Gehringer, efg@ncsu.edu What it does: response_controller.rb manages Responses. A Response is what is generated any time a user fills out a rubric--any rubric. This includes review rubrics, author-feedback rubrics, teammate-review rubrics, quizzes, and surveys. Responses come in versions. Any time an author revises work, and the reviewer comes back to review it, a new Response object is generated. This Response object points to a particular ReponseMap, which tells who the reviewer is, which team is the reviewee, and what the reviewed entity is. What needs to be done:

Please write some functional tests for this class.
