rspec users - Jun 2011 - help with rspec

Hi all,
My name is Shlomi Zadok - I am an old time PHP (mainly Drupal) developer and
I am doing my first application on Ruby on Rails ( I just love it!!)
I am trying to test my application with rspec and I am having problems.

I have to admit that I rushed with the development and neglected the testing
 - I have installed rspec & webrat only after finished the prototype, not
sure it is related.

The error I am getting is:
Failure/Error: Unable to find matching line from backtrace
NameError:
uninitialized constant ActionController::TestCase::Assertions

You have encountered that question a lot huh? :)

Please find below my configurations:

I run Ubuntu 11.04
Rails 3.0.7
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-linux]
I use Aptana as an IDE

My Gemfile:
----
source ''http://rubygems.org''

gem ''rails'', ''3.0.7''

# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem ''rails'', :git =>
''git://github.com/rails/rails.git''

gem ''sqlite3-ruby'', :require => ''sqlite3''
# Enable gravatar
gem ''gravatar_image_tag'', ''1.0.0.pre2''
# Enable pagination
gem ''will_paginate'', ''3.0.pre2''
# Use unicorn as the web server
# gem ''unicorn''
# Enable jquery
gem ''jquery-rails''

# Enable tiny_mce
# gem ''tiny_mce''

# Enable amistad friendship manager
gem ''amistad''

# Enable authorization manager for user (who can see what)
gem ''cancan''

# Paperclip to add attachments to files
gem "paperclip", "~> 2.3"

# Deploy with Capistrano
# gem ''capistrano''

# To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)
# gem ''ruby-debug''
# gem ''ruby-debug19''

# Bundle the extra gems:
# gem ''bj''
# gem ''nokogiri''
# gem ''sqlite3-ruby'', :require =>
''sqlite3''
# gem ''aws-s3'', :require => ''aws/s3''

# Bundle gems for the local environment. Make sure to
# put test-only gems in this group so their generators
# and rake tasks are available in development mode:
# group :development, :test do
#   gem ''webrat''
# end

group :development do
  gem ''rspec-rails'', ''2.5.0''
end

group :test do
  gem ''rspec'', ''2.5.0''
  gem ''webrat'', ''0.7.1''
end
----

I started with a very simple test:
spec/controllers/pages_controller_spec.rb (literally copied from
http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/static-pages):
----
require ''spec_helper''

describe PagesController do
  describe "GET ''home''" do
    it "should be successful" do
      get ''home''
      response.should be_success
    end
  end
end
----


Thank you so much for your help.
Shlomi

Do this instead:

group :development, :test do
  gem ''rspec-rails'', ''2.5.0''
end

group :test do
  gem ''webrat'', ''0.7.1''
end

rspec-rails needs to be in the development env in order to expose the rake tasks
and the test environment in order to be loaded when you run the spec suite. It
has a dependency on rspec, so you don''t need to list rspec explicitly.

Webrat only needs to be in the development env.

HTH,
David
