RSpec-ers:
I''m aware this is quite the FAQ. I have probably asked it myself, but I
just
can''t Google up anything but others asking it.
I grabbed the source to Beast, to use as a Rails project uninfluenced by me, or
RSpec. Then I installed the CURRENT version of RSpec and rspec_on_rails, and set
up a model spec on Post.
Here''s the spec_helper.rb lines:
config.use_transactional_fixtures = true
config.use_instantiated_fixtures = false
config.fixture_path = RAILS_ROOT + ''/test/fixtures/''
# borrow existing ones ^
config.global_fixtures = :posts, :topics, :users
And here''s a Beast test translated into a spec:
describe Post do
fixtures :forums, :moderatorships, :monitorships, :posts, :topics, :users
it ''should require body for post'' do
@post = topics(:pdi).posts.build
@post.valid?
assert @post.errors.on(:body)
end
end
And the whiny nil error message hits topics(:pid).
Any ideas?

> Sorry - that''s all I got. Anybody else?In general, all Rails tests have friction, of various types, because someone had the bright idea to make ''fixtures'' like a directive, instead of just a method you can call from setup(). So if anyone knew the function we could call there... -- Venkman
