rspec users - Oct 2006 - How to run edge RSpec (on Rails)?

I''m interested in tracking edge development of the RSpec on Rails
plugin and I''m a bit confused.

The installation guide
(http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/install.html) says,
"You''ll have to install the RSpec core gem first."  It also
says,
"Take note of what rspec version you''re installing ? it''s
very
important that you install a compatible RSpec on Rails plugin."
>From the "Installation" section (for RSpec on Rails) I understand
how
to track the HEAD of trunk for the plugin development, but I''m not
sure if I can use the edge plugin with the RSpec core gem (via "gem
install rspec").

In order to use the edge plugin, do I also need to use edge rspec?

If so, how do I install edge rspec and ensure it gets used instead of
the RSpec gem (0.6.4)?

I''ve done my best to RTFM, but I''m still climbing the Ruby
curve and
apparently missing some key bits to pull this together.

Thanks for any direction you might provide.

Yes.

check out the trunk
read the README - that should tell you what you need to build rspec
once you have the dependencies in place you should be able to do this:

rake gem
gem install pkg/rspec-X.X.X.gem

Let us know if that works for you.

Cheers,
David

Thanks, David.

I successfully built and installed the gem, but I''m running into an
issue similar to one Aslak reported:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6411&group_id=797&atid=3149

I''ve added the details of my issue as a followup to his ticket.

Thanks again,

George

Your problem seems to be unrelated to the issue I reported (your
exception is completely different than mine). It looks like your RSpec
on Rails is incompatible with your RSpec gem.

1) What RSpec version do you have? (a downloaded gem? self-built gem/svn rev?)
2) Are you running RSpec on Rails from trunk/HEAD or a particular svn
tagged revision?

Thanks, Aslak.  I *think* I''ve got it straight now. And my apologies
for
injecting noise into the tracker.  My mistake.

Does this sound like the proper way to track edge RSpec and RSpec on Rails
development?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Check out RSpec trunk from: svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk
Check out RSpec trunk into its own project, or if you''re interested in
using/learning RSpec for a particular Rails project, consider using
svn:externals to check out RSpec trunk into your [RailsRoot]/vendor
directory:

svn propset svn:externals "rspec
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk"
vendor

then update to grab the latest code from RSpec trunk:

svn update vendor

Next, build the gem.  You have to be standing in vendor/rspec if you''re
using svn:externals (as described above) or the root of RSpec if you checked
it out as its own project.

rake gem

then install it:

gem install pkg/rspec-X.X.X.gem (where X.X.X is the version number reported
in the output from "rake gem")

(Note: you can always uninstall the *edge* RSpec gem via "gem uninstall
rspec")


Now that you''ve installed the *edge* RSpec gem, you MUST install the
*edge*
RSpec on Rails plugin:

script/plugin install -x
svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/rspec/trunk/vendor/rspec_on_rails/vendor/plugins/rspec

This will install the RSpec on Rails plugin via svn:externals so it will
always track trunk development.


One last, MANDATORY step:  you must bootstrap your Rails app with RSpec.
Standing in [RailsRoot]:

script/generate rspec

Be sure to overwrite files if prompted.

In summary:
1. check out RSpec trunk
2. build the gem
3. install the gem
4. install the RSpec on Rails plugin from trunk
5. bootstrap you Rails app with RSpec
6. there is no step 6! (with apologies to Instiki)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think those steps are fairly accurate, but I''d appreciate any
critical
input.

I''d be happy to markup the steps for inclusion in
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/documentation/rails/ if it would be appropriate.

Thanks again for your help,

George

Thanks for documenting this. I need to review to make sure it''s
accurate, but will add a page on this to the website for the 0.7
release.

FYI - we generate the website using webgen, so marking it up in html
won''t be useful for us - but thank you for the offer!
