[rspec-users] Help with some basics

I''m suddenly getting an error on my specs

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.2.5/lib/spec/example/example_methods.rb:24:in
`description'': No description supplied for example declared on

The spec is as follows (using Remarkable)
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../spec_helper'')

describe ProductTemplate do
  it { should belong_to(:account) }

  it { should validate_presence_of(:account) }
  it { should validate_presence_of(:name) }
  it { should validate_presence_of(:cost) }

  it { should validate_length_of(:name).within(1..100) }

  it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:name) }
end

I''ve just updated to the latest versions of rspec, rspec-rails and
remarkable


Not sure what I''m doing wrong here.

Thanks

Andrew

That happens when a matcher doesn''t supply a description (which is
required), but it looks like the remarkable matchers do, so I''m not
sure what''s up with that.

How are you running it? What command?

[rspec-users] Help with some basics

It gives me the same error when I run
rake spec
spec specs/
or
autospec

It also gives the same error with specs like
it { should_not be_nil }
and
it { should respond_to(:name) }

Those are internal to rspec and I can assure you they have descriptions.

I''m mystified. Anybody else on this list have a similar experience?

Managed to find the problem, the class ProductTemplate wasn''t being
loaded so "it" wasn''t working on an object.
The error is not very useful in this situation but I''m moving forward
again.

Thanks for the help

What I''ve found is that occasionally when there is a problem loading
the base class, the errors become very cryptic.
You can get to the base error by adding a very simple spec in the form of:
it "" { ... }

In my specific case, my model was in a different schema and so
ActiveRecord couldn''t find the table in the database.
