rspec users - Apr 2007 - Running specs for a plugin - undefined method ''define'' for object

I''m trying to write specs for a plugin I''m developing named
audit_fu, and
I''m running into a problem which I can''t get past it.  
I''ve got the same
specs setup in the main rails app, and everything works fine there,
it''s
just running the plugin specs that I''m having a problem with.  My setup
is:

   - edge rails
   - edge rspec (in vendor/plugins/rspec)
   - edge rspec_on_rails (in vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails)
   - I ran script/generate rspec
   - plugin created with rspec_plugin (using script/generate rspec_plugin
   audit_fu)

File contents of:  vendor/plugins/audit_fu/spec/audit_fu_spec.rb

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/spec_helper''
define "Widget" do
  fixtures :widgets
  it "should find all records" do
    Widget.count.should==4
  end
end

File contents of: vendor/plugins/audit_fu/spec/spec_helper.rb

require File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../../../../spec/spec_helper''
plugin_spec_dir = File.dirname(__FILE__)
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(plugin_spec_dir + "/debug.log")
databases = YAML::load(IO.read(plugin_spec_dir + "/db/database.yml"))
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(databases[ENV["DB"] ||
"sqlite3"])
load(File.join(plugin_spec_dir, "db", "schema.rb"))

The failing command:

If I change define/it to context/specify, it gets a little further, but
blows up when it hits the fixtures definition:

I think I''m missing an include or require somewhere - can anyone see
what
I''m missing or what I''ve done wrong?  Thanks for your help -

It''s describe, not define.

Is it actually possible to run the specifications written for a plugin
without having much hassle in setting up a rails application?

The one thing holding me back writing specs for plugins (with
generators) is the fact that I need to 1) make a change in my
generated spec, 2) change the code to let the spec pass, 3) Change the
generator so they generate the new spec / code, 4) Use the generator
in a new rails application, 5) Run all specs.

This is so much hassle that It''s really tempting to just let the tests
be. (which is ofcourse very wrong).

It depends on how well decoupled your own code is from Rails. If you
decouple it completely you don''t need Rails.

If you''re thinking specifically about writing specs for generators,
then I agree this is hard. If you dig in the Spec::Rails code you can
see how we did it for the rspec generator.

P.S. Your post seems unrelated to the original post. Please create a

Thanks - I''ll check my code more thoroughly next time before posting.

It still blows up with the fixtures declaration, though (even when using
context/specify) - am I missing an include file?

I don''t know if this is the source of your problem - I haven''t
investigated it, but I see that your spec is not in a sub folder
(spec/models, spec/controllers etc.)

what happens if you move your spec down to say, spec/models (and
adjust your require to spec_helper.rb - does it still behave the same?

A second thing - have you run ruby script/generate rspec lately? There
might be some recent changes in the generated spec_helper.rb that your
current copy (which was generated - perhaps a while ago) is out of
date with.

fixtures work even if a spec is not in a sub dir?

Our email must be overlapping somehow. I followed yours up w/ an
explanation of that 4 hours before this one was sent.

Anyhow - yes, there is. You can do this:
