Hey list, I''m refactoring some much-used functionality into a common_steps step group. Methods like this are in there: steps_for :common do Given "a number of existing $types?" do |type| @initial_item_count = type.singularize.classify.constantize.count end When "the user adds an invalid $type" do |type| post

Hey list, This is a kinda quirky question for this list, but I do think it belongs here. I''m currently writing an app with users with different roles. Roles are sequentially so to speak, so role 2 can do everything role 1 can, and so on. If I truly test my whole app, I should test all behaviour for each role, I guess. I could solve that by doing some clever shared steps and

Hi all, We''ve moved the rspec website to http://rspec.info. We want http://rspec.org, of course, but someone is squatting on and has yet to respond to my email :( The 1.1.0 docs are there. The 1.0.8 docs are still at http://rspec.rubyforge.org for the time being. We''ll be archiving them at the new site soon. This new site is hosted on our shiny new sponsored slice at Engine

I know I must be doing something dumb, but I can''t seem to send a local variable to my partial. The below code leads to the following error: NameError in Residential_listings#new undefined local variable or method `foo'' for #<ActionView::Base: 0x3fb53f8> I am trying to call the variable ''foo'' in a partial called _attachment.html.erb, which is nested in

I just found this one: http://tinyurl.com/3c3mfa David, are there any other RSpec books in the works? With Regards, Cody Skidmore

Hey list, Anyone have experience with acts_as_xapian and Cucumber? I''m struggling with updating xapian''s index, to actually "find" fluff that has been indexed.. In a scenario, I''m adding a bunch of articles, and in the actual search step, I run: When "I search for \"$query\"" do |query| %x[rake RAILS_ENV=test xapian:update_index]

Greetings, How to write Example which will check if model''s variable''s format is valid using :on => :create, like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base ... validates_format_of :email, :with => /.../, :on => :create ... Using following code is not right: it "should ..." do @user = users(:example_user) @user.email =

Hi all, Running on OSX 10.5.3, Latest Rspec trunk, Rspec rails trunk, latest autotest gem and rails 2.1 I''ve lost my colour output in autotest. rake spec gives colour output, but autotest gives me black and white. It was working a little bit before, I think I upgraded to the latest versions of everything to get all the textmate snippets talking and being friendly to one another again

Hey gang, I find myself struggling with multiple step definitions in cucumber all the time. I regularly test the contents of my flash[:notice] in steps, since I think that''s part of the behaviour of the app. So, while implementing a new feature, I ran into the following error: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/cucumber-0.1.15/bin/../lib/cucumber/ step_mother.rb:81:in

I am using auto_complete to provide a list of persons from which the user can select one. On selection from the auto_complete list, a hidden field is updated with the id of the selected person. This is all wrapped in a form, that then can be submitted by the user (by clicking the provided submit button). On submission, the person (based on the id in the hidden field) is added to a group. I assume

Everything works fine on my development box (Ubuntu 7.10, Ruby 1.8.6) but on my server (Fedora Core 6, Ruby 1.8.5) when I run script/backgroundrb start, the process fails to start. This is with Rails 2.0.2 frozen in the app, and I have the most recent version of the plugin (r297). Is Ruby 1.8.6 a requirement for backgroundrb now? I can''t figure any other reason it would fail...

I find myself doing this kind of thing a lot in Controller Specs: @vacancy = mock_model(Vacancy) @vacancy.stub!(:reference) @vacancy.stub!(:title) @vacancy.stub!(:created_at) @vacancy.stub!(:updated_at) @vacancy.stub!(:body) @vacancy.stub!(:contract) @vacancy.stub!(:location) @vacancy.stub!(:salary) @vacancy.stub!(:benefits)

Hello, Does someone know where I can hook in to mock out a render call from a helper in Rails? I know I can do this in view specs with the following @controller.template.stub!(:render) but template doesn''t seem to be attached to @controller in a helper context. Thanks. -Chris

Hi I''ve come back to a Rails project after about a month doing other work, and there''s a lot of changes. I was on the 0.7 branch before and I''ve upgraded to RSpec 1.0.5. I used the spec translator, fixed the cases where it barfed on unusual line contents, and all my model and controller specs now pass. But I''m getting 53 failures on my view specs,

I have an full ajax app doing crud operations for contact info for one section. I was using ajax calls to edit and cancel and also to add a contact. I am implementing a button_to_function instead of doing an ajax call to just edit/add/or cancel a contact. I am running into a memory issue using the button_to_function or link_to_function. I have this: <%= link_to_function ''Edit

Hi, I''m trying to send a post body with my link_to_remote call. Prototype supports the ''postBody'' option, but I can''t seem to get link_to_remote to set that. Here''s what I''m trying: link_to_remote ''move up'', :url => { :controller => ''upload'', :action => ''position_ajax'', :id

When I use plugin ''railstree'' (http://www.hashcode.eti.br/?p=91) as following code: node = Node.new :label => menu_item.name, :link_to_remote => { :base => self, :update => "container", :url => {

Hi. In the episode 74 <http://railscasts.com/episodes/74>, Ryan has a model "project" that can have many "tasks", and he uses link_to_function to dynamically add a field in the form for a new Task. In order to do that he created a helper called add_task_link. The code of the method is: # projects_helper.rb def add_task_link(name) link_to_function name do |page|

Hi, I''m trying to spec a controller method which renders some rjs as part of a render :update block. The problem I''m having is that stub_render or expect_render don''t seem to allow and_return to work. The controller method does: if @thing.save render :update do |page| page.insert_html :bottom,
