Minitest-rails with bootstrap editable - ruby-on-rails-4

Question

Currently doing Rails Unit Test, using minitest-rails.
I'm using bootstrap editable js to directly update data in view.
I having trouble asserting value correctly, got Failure result.
Only for the function that I used bootstrap editable, since it uses other way to send parameters than normal Rails update action.
Please help a look at my codes.
In my controller:
def edit_job_type
update_common_table('job_types', params[:pk], params[:name], params[:value])
end
In my included module:
def update_common_table(table, id, key, value)
begin
case table
when 'job_types'
#record = JobType.find(id)
end
case key
when 'en_name'
#record.en_name = params[:value]
edit_field = 'English Name'
end
#record.last_updated_by = session[:username]
#record.save
render json: {
status: 'success',
message: "#{edit_field} was successfully updated.",
updated_at: #record.updated_at.to_time.strftime("%a, %e %b %Y %H:%M"),
updated_by: session[:username]
}
rescue => error
render json: {status: 'error', message: error.message}
end
end
In my minitest-rails, controller:
setup do
#job_type = job_types(:waiter)
end
test "should update job_type" do
patch :edit_job_type, id: #job_type.id, job_type: { pk: #job_type.id, name: 'en_name', value: "janitor" }
assert_response :success, message: 'English Name was successfully updated.'
#job_type.reload
assert_equal "janitor", #job_type.en_name # this one FAILS, not updated value
end
In my fixtures > job_types:
waiter:
en_name: waiter
When I run rake test:
I got failure result, because the update was failed.
Expected: "New Job Type Updated"
Actual: "waiter"
Still getting the default value "waiter", instead of "janitor"
Please help to figure out how can I fixed my test.

SOLVED
Finally I've made a work around after thorough searching.
The solution was to use a XHR method since bootstrap editable uses POST method.
Before:
test "should update job_type" do
patch :edit_job_type, id: #job_type.id, job_type: { pk: #job_type.id, name: 'en_name', value: "janitor" }
assert_response :success, message: ' Successfully updated.'
#job_type.reload
assert_equal "janitor", #job_type.en_name # this one FAILS, not updated value
end
After:
test "should update job_type" do
xhr :post, :edit_job_type, format: :js, pk: #job_type.id, name: 'en_name', value: "janitor"
assert_response :success, ' Successfully updated.'
#job_type.reload
assert_equal "janitor", #job_type.en_name
end
